Manchester United are on the hunt for a new manager after sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following a dreadful run which saw them take just four points from a possible 21 in the Premier League, culminating in a 4-1 thrashing at Watford on Sunday.

Michael Carrick is in charge for the short-term, but the club announced they will appoint an interim boss until the end of the season, with a more permanent replacement to follow in summer.

Speculation has been fierce and immediate over who the long-term manager will eventually be, with Mauricio Pochettino thought to head up the list of targets and with the PSG boss keen to take over at Old Trafford - even if it’s before the summer.
