Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Barcelona manager, Luis Enrique has been identified as the best option for the vacant seat at Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Former Manchester United midfielder, Owen Hargreaves, pointed out Enrique, who is currently with the national team of Spain for the position.<\/p>\n

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked on Sunday after a disappointing run of results including a 4-0 loss to Watford on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Michael Carrick was installed as caretaker boss until either an interim manager, or permanent head coach, has been appointed..<\/p>\n

Asked about the main contenders to take over at United, Hargreaves told BT Sport: \u201cI think [Pochettino] commands respect, I think he demands work from the players. But all these names are great names.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrendan has great experience in the league. Zidane, surely the language barrier has got to be a thing. Ten Hag has done unbelievable things with Ajax, but they\u2019re the best team in Holland \u2013 is he going to be able to dominate the ball over here in the Premier League like he does in Holland?<\/p>\n

\u201cI think one name that\u2019s not on there, which I\u2019d like to see, is Luis Enrique.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you manage a big football club like Barcelona, and you won the treble there, and then you can go and take a pretty average team to a semi-final [of Euro 2020] in Spain, I think that\u2019s the type of guy [United need].<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he\u2019s only managing the national team, so I think he could come in and do the job now.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think he would transform United from a good team into a great team.\u201d<\/p>\n
