Manchester United have added Southampton’s Ralph Hasenhuttl to their manager shortlist, according to The Mirror.
The Red Devils are currently under the control of interim boss Ralf Rangnick, but the German is expected to become the club’s advisor at the end of the season.
The search is already underway for the next permanent head coach. Paris Saint-Germain’s Mauricio Pochettino and Ajax’s Erik ten Hag are considered as the prime targets.
However, the club are also preparing a back-up plan, should they fail to pursue their main options.
Carlo Ancelotti was recently talked about as a possible candidate.It is now reported that the hierarchy could consider a move for Hasenhuttl, who previously worked with Rangnick during the early revolution of RB Leipzig in Bundesliga.
The 54-year-old has had a solid campaign at Southampton this season.
He is still ‘ambitious’ and would ‘jump at the chance’ of managing a club of United’s calibre.
