Cristiano Ronaldo wants Luis Enrique to be the next Manchester United manager, according to Sky Sports.

The Portuguese has worked under some world-class managers since breaking into the scene at Old Trafford more than a decade ago. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner wants to see the Spanish national team manager take charge of The Red Devils.

Luis Enrique enjoyed tremendous success with Barcelona during his three-year stint with the club. Ronaldo got a first-hand view of the Spaniard’s exploits at Camp Nou, as the Portuguese played for Real Madrid during that time. The 36-year-old believes the Spanish manager could steer Manchester United back to glory.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s homecoming this summer has not unfolded as planned. The Portuguese joined The Red Devils hoping to add to his legacy. While he has been in decent goalscoring touch, United have struggled this season. With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer parting ways with the Premier League giants, the club is looking for a new manager.

Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane and current Ajax boss Erik Ten Hag are the names under consideration. However, Ronaldo is convinced Luis Enrique would be a good fit at Old Trafford. Manchester United are considering the Spanish manager as well.

However, Enrique has hinted that he is happy to be in charge of the Spain national team.

Former Leeds United star Paddy Kenny has advised United to cash in on Paul Pogba in January. The Frenchman’s current deal with The Red Devils expires at the end of this season, and he has not yet agreed to an extension.

Speaking to Football Insider, the former goalkeeper said that Pogba has failed to make a mark at United. He believes The Red Devils should accept whatever price they get for the Frenchman this winter.

“He’s out of contract, so they will try and get something for him. Even if it’s £20million, that’s better than nothing,” said Kenny.
