Manchester United have drawn up a shortlist of interim managers as they look at potential options to take charge on a temporary basis until the summer.
It has been revealed that an Old Trafford legend is considered the early frontrunner among the candidates being discussed. United’s focus is on a short-term appointment, with the club assessing who could steady the team and see out the campaign.
The shortlist highlights that United are weighing up several profiles for the role, but the former fan favourite is currently viewed as the leading contender to step in if required. The club’s thinking is understood to be centred on a caretaker solution rather than a long-term call at this stage.
United’s planning reflects a wider review behind the scenes, with the board looking at how best to manage the situation through to the end of the season. No final decision has been confirmed, but the revelation of a shortlist underlines that preparations are already being made for a possible interim change until summer.
