Cristiano Ronaldo picks his top choice to replace Solskjaer at Man Utd

Cristiano Ronaldo wants Manchester United to appoint Spain coach Luis Enrique as their new manager, according to reports.

United confirmed that they had made the decision to sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Sunday and now they are looking for an interim candidate to take charge until the end of the campaign.




Michael Carrick is in caretaker charge until the new interim coach is appointed with the Red devils looking to wait until the summer to choose their long-term successor to Solskjaer.

Zinedine Zidane, Brendan Rodgers, Erik Ten Hag and Pochettino are the main coaches linked with replacing Solskjaer long term, while former Barcelona manager Enrique has reportedly ‘impressed’ the United hierarchy.




According to Sky Sports News reporter Rob Dorsett, Ronaldo ‘is keen for Luis Enrique to become the new Manchester United manager’.

It is believed that the Spain manager is ‘likely to be considered for the role along with Zinedine Zidane and Erik Ten Hag’ while Dorsett claims that Pochettino and Rodgers ‘are long shots currently’.

Meanwhile, David de Gea labelled United’s performance against Watford in their 4-1 defeat on Saturday as “embarrassing” and declared it is “not acceptable” for the club.

De Gea said: “It was embarrassing to be honest, to see Manchester United play like we did today. I think it’s not acceptable.




“The way we were playing, it’s easy to blame the manager, the staff. But sometimes it’s the players. We play for Manchester United, we need to do better.

“It was an embarrassing first half. We could’ve conceded four goals, we cannot play like today. It’s a nightmare again, for a long time and it’s not acceptable.

“Players are trying to give our best but for sure something is very wrong, you can see in the games. It’s very low level, very poor. Sorry to the fans.

“I’ve been in difficult moments throughout my career but I always believe in myself. We are professionals, we all have difficult moments.
