Manchester United plan to speak to "multiple candidates" for the role of manager at Old Trafford, after interviewing Ajax head coach Erik ten Hag.
ESPN reported on March 18 that United would use this international break to accelerate their process of identifying a new manager, with club owners the Glazer family and chief executive Richard Arnold keen to finalise an appointment before the end of the season. While United are maintaining a watching interest in Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel due to the uncertainty surrounding the Premier League club as a result of its planned sale by owner Roman Abramovich, whose assets have been frozen by the United Kingdom government, sources have said that the German is not regarded as a likely appointment. Sources told ESPN that United are determined to undertake a thorough process before identifying the new manager, with the club desperate to avoid the mistakes that have left them searching for a fifth new boss in nine years.

Itโs time to try something new and the appointment of Ten Hag would represent this in a number of ways. Itโs not just in the success Ten Hag has enjoyed at Ajax (he also took the club to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019) that his Manchester United candidacy is strong, itโs in the way his team plays. This process has recently accelerated with the reported interview of Erik Ten Hag as a candidate to take over on a permanent basis this summer.

United are eager to avoid the errors that have led to them searching for a fifth permanent manager in nine years. Want the Man Utd latest? However, they have not put a formal deadline on the process, which is being led by Darren Fletcher and John Murtough. United's insistence that there is "no early favourite" for the role, and that they are remaining open-minded, will not water down the feeling that Ten Hag is their man given the public nature of this development.
