  • Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti has emerged as a potential candidate for the Manchester United permanent job
  • Ancelotti, who is currently at Real Madrid is staring at an uncertain future with the La Liga giants following his recent Champions League defeat against PSG

Man United have reportedly added Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti to their shortlist of managerial candidates.

United are looking to hire a permanent manager who will take charge at the end of the season.

Interim boss Ralf Rangnick is expected to step down from the role to take up a consultancy role at Old Trafford.

Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino is believed to be the leading candidate for the Red Devils' permanent job.

However, he is expected to face stiff competition from his Ajax counterpart, Erik ten Hag, who is also being strongly considered.

Carlo Ancelotti added to Man United shortlist

According to Metro UK, Real boss Carlo Ancelotti has also been added to the shortlist of candidates who could be interviewed for the job.

It is believed the decision Sir Alex Ferguson recommended the experienced tactician should Pochettino be unavailable.

ESPN claims a move for Ancelotti would be a quick fix as a long-term replacement is sought.

Ancelotti under pressure at Real

Ironically, reports linking Ancelotti to Old Trafford come at a time the Italian is under pressure at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The 62-year-old found himself on the receiving end after Real were stunned 1-0 by PSG in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 fixture.

Ancelotti has had considerable success through his managerial career, winning the Champions League three times - including with current Man United duo Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane in 2014.
