Manchester United are pressing ahead with their search for a new manager following the departure of Ruben Amorim on Monday. Darren Fletcher is currently in interim charge and oversaw the 2-2 draw with Burnley. The club are expected to appoint an interim manager until the end of the season, with a permanent successor to be named in the summer.
Former United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been linked with a return to Old Trafford in a caretaker role until the end of the campaign. The Daily Mail reports that Solskjaer will hold face-to-face talks with the club on Saturday. Michael Carrick, another former United player, has also held talks over the interim position, though he is reportedly being considered by West Ham as well.
Among permanent candidates, Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner is an early favourite, while Eddie Howe has been touted for the role. Thomas Tuchel has also been linked. Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is said to be 'pleased' with reports linking him to United, according to Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague. However, the club's hierarchy have no plans to consult Sir Alex Ferguson on the decision, despite the former manager's admiration for Mauricio Pochettino.
In transfer news, United are in talks with Championship side Hull City about a potential loan move for midfielder Toby Collyer, who recently returned from a loan at West Brom due to injury. Hull manager Sergej Jakirovic confirmed the club's interest, calling Collyer 'an interesting player'.
