Breaking news : Pochettino no longer a priority as Man United identify No.1 managerial target,as new candidate to take over revealed set to take charge after Chelsea match .

 Manchester United are no longer as convinced

 by PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino as previous

 reports claimed, according to The Independent. 

The Red Devils' true top target remains Ajax 

manager Erik ten Hag.




Manchester United finally pulled the plug 


on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this week. They 


have appointed former midfielder Michael 


Carrick as their caretaker manager for the


 time being and are on the hunt for a 


replacement for the Norwegian.



There have been suggestions that the 


Red Devils intend to hire a permanent 


manager at the end of the season. In the 


meantime, they plan to bring in an interim 


manager to see them through the season.



Manchester United have been linked with 


the likes of Ernesto Valverde, Lucien Favre, 


Paulo Fonseca and Ralf Rangnick for the 


interim manager role. Meanwhile, PSG 


boss Pochettino has been placed as the


 favourite to take the reins at Old Trafford 


permanently.



However, Manchester United are no longer


 as convinced by Pochettino as they have


 been made out to be in the media, according


 to The Independent. The Argentinean tactician


 is not the Red Devils' first option to be 


Solskjaer's long-term replacement 


as previously thought.



If reports are to be believed, Ajax coach 


Ten Hag remains Manchester United's top target


 for the permanent manager's role. It remains


 to be seen if they can convince the 


Dutchman to take the reins at Old Trafford


 now or at the end of the season.



Ten Hag is aware of his links with 


Manchester United. He said:



"I'm busy with Ajax. I don't need 

to talk about other interests, because 

nobody has contacted me. It's 

always nice when you are linked 

to clubs with this status", Ten Hag

 told a press conference on Tuesday.



It remains to be seen if Ajax can fend 


off interest from Manchester United should 


the Premier League giants make a move 


for Ten Hag.



What does this mean for Mauricio

 Pochettino's links with Manchester 

United?

There have been suggestions that 


Mauricio Pochettino is prepared to leave 


PSG to take the reins at Manchester United 


immediately. The Parisians are also reportedly


 in talks with Zinedine Zidane to replace 


the Argentinean.



However, with Manchester United claimed


 to be no longer as convinced by Pochettino 


as they used to be, it remains to be seen if 


they will make a move for him now.



With Ten Hag remaining committed to 


Ajax, the Red Devils could decide to bring 


in an interim manager now and wait until 


the summer to hire a permanent boss. They


 could yet turn to Pochettino should it 


prove difficult to lure the Dutchman.
