Confirmed : Manchester United confirms the appointment of their next manager.

 Manchester United will appoint a 

permanent manager this summer. Interim

 boss Ralf Ragnick took over in December

 2021 and was given the task of stewarding

 the club until the end of the season.

He is expected to become a consultant from

 the start of the 2022-23 season. Former 

United star Teddy Sheringham has backed

 Mauricio Pochettino to become the 

new permanent boss at Old Trafford.

Pochettino is currently in charge at Paris

 Saint-Germain. The former Tottenham 

Hotspur boss is known for playing an 

attacking brand of football. Sheringham 

believes Pochettino's philosophy will 

be a welcome change at Manchester United.

Sheringham told Genting Casino:

“Manchester United have always

 been brought up on that vibe of 

taking the game to the opposition

. I think, if you look along those 

lines, I would say the perfect fit 

would be Pochettino, without a 

doubt."

He added:

“I think when he was at Tottenham

 he wanted the ball, he wanted to 

play with the ball and hurt the

 opposition, and I think that the

 Manchester United crowd would 

love his philosophy in the way that

 he takes the game to the 

opposition."

Pochettino has previously managed 

Southampton and Spurs in the Premier 

League. He manged 293 games for the

 north London side, winning 160 of them.

Despite raising the level at Spurs, 

Pochettino was unable to help the club 

win any silverware during his five-year 

spell at Tottenham. Sheringham has 

backed the Argentine to correct that record 

on his CV should he come to Old Trafford

 in the summer.

“Obviously, he didn’t win anything

 at Tottenham, but if you’ve got bigger

 and better players. who knows 

what he could achieve. He would 

be the man for me, he would be 

the number one choice. It’s a great

 experience for him."

What are Manchester United 

up to this season?

The Red Devils are having yet another 

poor season. They have been knocked 

out of both domestic cup competitions - 

the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.

West Ham United beat United in the

 Carabao Cup and Middlesbrough shocked

 the Red Devils in the FA Cup.

Their hopes of winning the Premier League

 are close to non-existent as the club is 

currently 20 points behind league leaders

 Manchester City after 25 games.

Their last avenue for a trophy is the 

Champions League. Although difficult, 

it will be United's best shot at turning 

around the season. First up for them will 

be Atletico Madrid in the round of 

16 next week.
