"There is a very good video online where Bobby Charlton talks about what Man Utd is as a football club," Neville told Sky Sports News. "It's about adventurous, exciting football, playing young players, entertaining the crowd. Man Utd must take risks and be courageous in playing attacking football. Man Utd have got to appoint a manager that fits the DNA of their club."

The most important thing for me is happiness in the role, happiness in the job. The relationships I have with the people around me.

Ratcliffe has one standout favourite in mind to lead Man United forward and that is USMNT boss Mauricio Pochettino, according to journalist Rudy Galetti. The admiration is clear. Pochettino has long been viewed by United's hierarchy as a manager who embodies the club's traditional values, high-intensity football, youth development, tactical modernity and strong man-management. Mauricio Pochettino is respected by Man United His work at Tottenham, where he transformed a promising squad into consistent Premier League title challengers, remains highly respected inside Old Trafford.

As seismic as Ruben Amorim's defenestration at Manchester United might seem, it is firmly on-brand for owners who specialise in promising the earth and delivering nothing more than a few savings on Sellotape. Jim Ratcliffe and his Ineos politburo have long shown their sureness of touch as football masterminds, whether in extending Erik ten Hag's contract and sacking him three months later, or in paying Newcastle £4m for the services

I would say yes, but they've had that before in the last 10 years. You know, we've had Jose Mourinho, Van Gaal. We've had experienced managers come in and they've not done the job either way. That's because they weren't given time. Maybe they were clashing with the board again and didn't get the resources and players they wanted. It seems to be a bit of a running theme at Old Trafford these days. So it really, really depends.

It has led Ferdinand, the former United defender, to draw up a four-man shortlist of managerial targets he feels would fit the bill. I would go for [Roberto] De Zerbi, [Thomas] Tuchel, Xavi or Darren Fletcher if he does well, the ex-England international wrote on X. It is a similar role to that of Fletcher's former team-mates Ryan Giggs and Michael Carrick have undertaken while United search for a new boss.

United are likely to hire an interim coach until the end of the season and then appoint a permanent successor to Ruben Amorim in the summer. Carrick is among the names in the frame to take the reigns at Old Trafford and United are said to be ready to make an approach for their former midfielder. The i report that United are expected to approach Carrick in the coming days but it is unclear if he would be interested in the role.

"I said what I said before the game, just because he was a bit arrogant," Matic tells FourFourTwo. "He said, We're way better than Lyon.' I don't think you say that before a quarter-final in the Europa League. "I wanted to put more pressure on him with my answer, and he made that mistake. I don't know if our second goal was his mistake or a half-mistake.

It's tough to hire a new Manchester United manager. It has become an impossible job to fill the impossible job, and for the seventh time since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in May 2013, the Premier League's biggest club is in the market for a new coach following Ruben Amorim's dismissal on Monday morning. They say this inside Old Trafford every time the manager's office is cleared out for a new appointment, but they really need to get it right this time.
