Manchester United searching for interim manager after sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Manchester United have held initial talks with Ernesto Valverde as they continue their search for an interim manager to take charge until the end of the season.
Valverde is one of the number of potential candidates to have spoken with United, and Angel network news gathered that other prominent managers are in the frame for the role.
United are conducting a thorough process to appoint an interim boss following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last week.
The club are planning to make a permanent appointment at the end of the season and Mauricio Pochettino is their first choice.
United are also not ruling out the possibility of making a move for the Paris Saint-Germain head coach during the current campaign.
Our correspondent gathered that the former Tottenham boss would be interested in moving to Old Trafford, though Pochettino said on Monday he is “so happy” at PSG and will not allow United’s interest to distract him from his current role.
Pochettino joined PSG in January and is contracted to the Ligue 1 club until the summer of 2023.
