Manchester United have spoken to Ajax’s highly rated coach Erik ten Hag about their vacant manager’s job.
Ralf Rangnick has been doing the job on an interim basis since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked in November.
It is being stressed at Old Trafford that it is too early to start talking about favourites for the job, although the club do want to conclude the process as soon as possible.
Paris St-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino is also on a shortlist.
Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui also has his admirers at United, as does Spain coach Luis Enrique, although the likelihood of him agreeing to take a club job before the World Cup later this year is thought to be slim.
United are keeping across the situation at Chelsea, although German manager Thomas Tuchel has given no indication publicly he is thinking about walking out on the Blues, despite their present predicament.
Ten Hag, like Pochettino, has a contract to 2023.
However, that is unlikely to prove an obstacle should United decide the Dutchman, 52, is the right man for the job.
