Manchester United sound out Roberto De Zerbi about becoming new manager

De Zerbi’s attractive possession-based style of play and the 44-year-old’s feat of qualifying Brighton for European football last year for the first time in the club’s history have impressed Jim Ratcliffe, who controls football operations at United having purchased a 27.7 per cent stake in the club last year.Thomas Tuchel, Kieran McKenna, Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Frank are also on the shortlist to replace Ten Hag, who came out fighting having led United to the FA Cup on Saturday.

Tuchel was previously the favourite to replace Ten Hag but Ratcliffe is an admirer of all the candidates and is keeping an open mind. The Ineos billionaire is also this week leading a season review after which Ten Hag will learn for sure if he is to be removed from his post. The 54-year-old’s position is in jeopardy after a dismal campaign in which United finished 8th, their lowest position of the Premier League era.
