The Manchester club are already sounding out potential replacements and have since instructed a "leading agent" to help identify a suited candidate.

The four likely coaches to replace Ole are;

1. Zinedine Zidane

2. Antonio Conte

3. Brendan Rodgers

4. Erik Ten Hag

Of the four, only Conte and Zidane are currently not attached anywhere, with both quitting their roles at Inter Milan and Real Madrid respectively.

It is understood Conte, who has previously managed in the Premier League would be interested in taking charge.

Rodgers, on the other hand, has a £16million release clause in his deal with Leicester City.

He has made an impressive impact at the King Power Stadium since joining them in February 2019, helping them win the FA Cup title last season.

Meanwhile, Ten Hag has had a significant impact at Ajax and has already inspired them to title glory.
