The Spaniard Pep Guardiola, the former Manchester City manager, has entered the circle of candidates to take charge of the United States national team, as successor to the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, who is preparing to leave in order to lead Manchester United, according to press reports.

Manchester United are considering the option of reinforcing the current coaching staff led by Michael Carrick, rather than rushing to sack him and appoint a new manager, amid growing pressure on the English manager due to the team's declining results.

Manchester United have moved closer to signing a new manager to succeed Michael Carrick, the current coach, whose stock has fallen sharply following a collapse in results in the recent period.

Manchester United are hopeful Marcus Rashford will be fit for their trip to Liverpool a week on Sunday after the forward began a new treatment programme on a groin problem. The 29-year-old has missed United's last six games, but a visit to a specialist in Dublin has given the club fresh optimism ahead of a clash against the rivals he has so often hurt.
