Marca reports that the Red Devils have been linked with the Spanish combination, despite the fact that Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag are still considered the favorites ahead of those two.

In other words, as per usual, Manchester United appears to have no idea what it's doing.

Despite reports that United are looking to hire a new manager by the end of the month, a source told Sky Sports that such a timeline is "overly ambitious," and it's easy to see what he meant.

However, despite the fact that Lopetegui is an excellent manager, he doesn't seem suited for one of the largest and most high-pressured jobs in international football, while Enrique will be unavailable because he is scheduled to take control of Spain at the World Cup later this year. United is well aware of this, yet they continue to procrastinate on the appointment of their next manager.

Luis Enrique is still being linked with a move to Manchester United.

It is almost certain that Manchester United will not fulfill their deadline of finding a new manager by the end of the month, despite the fact that it would be extremely beneficial to have this drama concluded as soon as possible.

Because Pochettino or Ten Hag are the clear frontrunners, it's puzzling why names like Lopetegui and Enrique are still being floated.
