The Reds Devils are still in search for a top class manager despite the remarkable results grinded out by interim boss Ole Gunnar Solksjaer.

Mauricio Pochettino of Tottenham remain their No.1 target, but executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward knows it will a hard nut to crack in getting him.

United will look elsewhere for another option as England manager Gareth Southgate has also been linked to Old Trafford.

The 48-year-old has closed the gap on Spanish rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona since arriving at the club seven years ago.

He has led the club to one La Liga title, two Champions League finals and two Europa League trophies.

Simeone's impressive record is gradually breaking up and it is hard for Atleti to rival Barca in particular in the domestic game.
