Paul Scholes has identified experienced Premier League managers Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte as his preferred choices for the Man United managerial job.

Paul Scholes tells Man United to for either Tuchel or Conte

However, Scholes contends either Chelsea's Tuchel or his Tottenham counterpart Antonio Conte would be ideal for the Man United hot seat.

According to the United icon, Tuchel could come in and ‘strike fear’ into the under-performing United flops, while Conte, who was linked with the job after the exit of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has what it takes to lift the club out of their malaise.

"I would have gone for Conte or Tuchel now. Possibly it looks like he [Tuchel] might be available at the end of the year," Metro UK quoted Scholes saying.

"Those two are top class elite coaches who I think strike fear into players and win which is the most important thing. United with either one of those coaches would be a much better squad," the former midfielder added.
