It remains to be seen which direction United will go in when it comes to finding a permanent successor. They have already been linked with a host of big names, but many of them will be expensive to appoint because they are tied down to their clubs.
As a result, United may be forced to turn to a manager who is currently out of work.
Express Sport takes a look at the best unattached candidates who could be appointed as early as tomorrow…
Zinedine Zidane
Zidane has not had a managerial job since the end of his second spell in charge of Real Madrid three years ago. He led the Spanish giants to three successive Champions League titles, showing that he knows what it takes to deliver results at the very highest level.
However, it was recently claimed by Thierry Henry that Zidane would reject the chance to manage another club because he has his sights set on the France national team.
Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry said: “I think he is waiting for the national team, so I’m not going to go there. I think he is waiting for one thing and one thing only and that’s the national team.”
Xavi
Xavi has been out of work since stepping down from his role in charge of Barcelona last season. He was initially linked with the United job during the summer, when the Red Devils considered making a change before handing Ten Hag a new contract.
According to The Independent, United have already reached out to Xavi through intermediaries to gauge his interest in joining them. However, the report adds that he is seen as ‘highly unlikely’ to step into the Old Trafford dugout.
