Schmeichel calls on Man Utd to fully focus on next managerial appointment

Manchester United Treble winner Peter Schmeichel says the Red Devils need to focus on getting their next managerial appointment right after the club was knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday.

Ralf Rangnick is United's interim boss until the end of the season. Paris St-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino and Ajax's Erik ten Hag remain the frontrunners for the post.

"Finding and giving a new manager a job is the priority," Schmeichel told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"There is an opportunity and there is some hope to cling on to that getting that right can take the club in the right direction.

"I think top managers, of course they want to win, but they also see great potential.

"You can come in c change things, you can bring players in. It's not like you have this team that is already working.

"I think the best managers in the world will relish a challenge like this. Everyone who is not at Liverpool or Manchester City would take that opportunity if they got it offered."
