Manchester United are under growing pressure to make a decision on their new manager - with top targets revealed

 Ajax manager ten Hag had an interview with United on Monday, according to Sportsmail, however it's known he's not the first contender to meet with the club's new chief executive Richard Arnold.

Meanwhile, Pochettino is expected to be interviewed soon after speaking with United's football director John Murtough a few weeks ago, but the Paris Saint-Germain coach is waiting to hear back.

Despite the fact that Carlo Ancelotti has led Real to a nine-point lead in LaLiga and into the Champions League quarter-finals, Bernabeu officials are alleged to be unhappy with the team's style of play and are considering changing managers.

Ten Hag is believed to have spoken with two other European clubs that compete in the Champions League on a regular basis, and has a concrete offer from one of them.

According to reports in Holland, he could yet continue at Ajax after signing a new contract after an unsuccessful interview with Tottenham last year.

Julen Lopetegui, the coach of Sevilla, is thought to be on United's shortlist, along with Luis Enrique, the manager of Spain. Enrique, on the other hand, prefers to stay at his current employment until after the election.
