"As first reported here for the Daily Briefing, my understanding is that Old Trafford chiefs are particularly keen on Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner. Glasner is currently considered the frontrunner, with one source telling me: Manchester United have been really impressed with what Glasner has done at Palace. He's the heavy favourite as things stand. However, there could also be other big names to watch as Man Utd won't rush into a decision and look set to assess their options."
"One other particularly tempting option for United could be England manager Thomas Tuchel, but the issue there is that his focus this summer will be on the World Cup.

"Despite reports, I'm told that PSG manager Luis Enrique is not currently a name being explored by MUFC. Things could change, of course, and some fans might be surprised that such a strong candidate is not considered an option, but perhaps the Spanish tactician already has something else lined up. Enrique is expected to leave PSG this summer, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up."
Manchester United are internally considering as many as five main candidates to become permanent manager next season, with Old Trafford chiefs particularly keen on Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, who is the current frontrunner. Thomas Tuchel is an option but his availability is uncertain because his focus this summer will be the World Cup and England commitments could delay his start. Other candidates under consideration include Enzo Maresca, Andoni Iraola and Kieran McKenna. PSG manager Luis Enrique is not currently being explored. Talks continue with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carr in the meantime.
