Manchester United legend Gary Neville expects a new manager at Old Trafford to be named as early as next week, after interviews have reportedly been conducted.

Former Manchester United full-back Gary Neville has said that he expects the Red Devils to name their next permanent manager next week.

Ajax boss Erik ten Hag is believed to have been interviewed by the Premier League giants on Monday, while Mauricio Pochettino, Julen Lopetegui and Luis Enrique are also all among the shortlist of candidates.

Interim boss Ralf Rangnick is set to remain in the dugout for the duration of this campaign, but he will move into his consultancy role in the summer, with a new permanent manager needed to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Neville has been reacting to developments at his former club on Twitter, and posted: "Reports Ten Hag has been interviewed this week. If formal interviews have started and with it being such a public process I would expect a new manager announcement within a week or so."

According to Man United's chiefs, there is currently no leading candidate, but reports suggest that Ten Hag is the club's preferred option, with Pochettino's cost a potential barrier for a deal to be agreed with the Argentine.

Rangnick is aiming to get the side into the top four to qualify for the Champions League next season, currently sitting sixth and four points behind Arsenal in fourth.
