The Mancunian hierarchy are currently working on putting in place a new manager for next season, with current caretaker manager Ralf Rangnick expected to return to a technical position.
Ancelotti towards a departure from Real?
Not to miss
Luis Enrique, Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino were thought to be the three names in contention, but Real Madrid tactician Ancelotti is also an option.
Ancelotti is under pressure in the Spanish capital after his side’s poor performance in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Paris Saint-Germain.
His close relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, who is still an influence at Old Trafford despite retiring nine years ago, could be a deciding factor.
Another factor could be the link between Ancelotti and Cristiano Ronaldo, with both men enjoying success together at Real Madrid, winning the Champions League in 2014.
