Ralf Rangnick 'has not been consulted in Manchester United's managerial search'

Ralf Rangnick has reportedly not been consulted by Manchester United in the club's search for a new head coach.

The German has been in charge of the Red Devils on an interim basis since last December, but he will step aside this summer for the arrival of a new manager.

Rangnick will allegedly take on a two-year consultancy role at Old Trafford, which will see the 63-year-old work for six days a month.

However, according to the Daily Mail, the team's current manager has not been involved in the process of picking the new boss in Manchester.

Ajax's Erik ten Hag has seemingly emerged as the favourite for the role, but Paris Saint-Germain's Mauricio Pochettino is also allegedly still being considered.

The new manager at Old Trafford is expected to be given significant transfer funds this summer, although much of the club's business will depend on whether they qualify for next season's Champions League.

Man United will be looking to give their top-four hopes a boost when they travel to relegation-threatened Everton in the league on Saturday afternoon.
