Manchester United Could Appoint Caretaker Manager Tonight
19:58, 18 Dec 2018

On a day of upheaval at Manchester United when Jose Mourinho paid the price for the club's dismal start to the season, there have been more exits too. 

Mourinho's coaching staff have left the club but Michael Carrick remains as interim manager.  Goalkeeping coach Emila Alvarez is also staying on in the short term at least.

Carrick and Kieran McKenna remain on the first-team coaching staff but it's believed the club could make an announcement about an interim manager as early as tonight.

Former United player Ole Gunnar Solksjaer is being widely tipped to take over until the end of the season.

Former United player turned Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville earlier stated that Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino would be his first choice to replace Mourinho. The Argentinian was admirably diplomatic when asked about the situation at United in his press conference today though did pay a glowing tribute to "his friend" Mourinho.

It will cost United a fortune to tempt Pochetinno away from Spurs and he may not be willing to leave the club who are dut to move into their impressive new stadium next year.

Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is another name to be linked with the newly vacant post but many people have voiced concerns that the French World Cup winner does not speak English.

Antonio Conte is another manager currently available at short notice while Diego Simeone would be a popular choice as the Argentinian continues to be linked with a move away from Atletico Madrid.
