Ralf Rangnick was hired on a two-and-a-half-year contract last year, but he is anticipated to serve out the remainder of his term as a consultant.

At this point, it is uncertain who will be appointed as manager of Manchester United, but Segal has indicated who he believes would be the best choice.

According to Segal, who spoke exclusively to Caught Offside, "If I were a betting man, I'd think Mauricio Pochettino will be their favourite selection."

Rumors are circulating that PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino will leave the club at the end of the season. Despite the fact that they are now top of the league with lots of breathing room, their performances in the Champions League have put their manager's job in jeopardy.

Segal feels that in order for United to be successful, the club will need to look for certain characteristics in their next manager. In terms of who could come in and take over as permanent manager at the end of the season, Segal believes they will require someone who is familiar with the Premier League, someone who is capable of being tactically great in Europe, and someone who has experience managing high-profile players.

Because of their failings in Europe, questions may be made about Pochettino's ability to handle with high-profile players, despite the fact that they have Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, and Lionel Messi on their roster. United's focus will be on domestic tournaments next season, which is why he is presently leading them to an unassailable first-place finish in Ligue 1.

With no guarantee of qualifying for the Champions League this year, hiring a manager with Premier League experience makes perfect sense.

With the ability to bring in his own players and make improvements to the present group, Mauricio Pochettino will definitely desire complete control over the transfer market. Segal feels that one particular player will be at the top of his priority list for the club's long-term retention.

He would need time to oversee a complete rebuild, and while the Glazers are unlikely to be willing to hand over £300 million, he would prefer to start from scratch. When it comes to Ronaldo in particular, he would likely want to retain his services for at least another season if Pochettino were to take over." "Take a look at what Cristiano Ronaldo accomplished against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend when he scored a match-winning hat-trick — he did it all on his own," Segal continues.

With the Champions League still up for grabs, AS have stated that Cristiano Ronaldo will remain at Manchester United, regardless of their current position.

Despite the fact that his performances have been inconsistent, as Segal pointed out, the match-winning moments are critical to a team's ability to succeed.

As soon as feasible, Manchester United will look to appoint a new manager in order to allow themselves enough time to sign the necessary players.
