Manchester United fans divided over Erik ten Hag and Luis Enrique after Spain boss' comments

Manchester United fans are torn between Ajax manager Erik ten Hag and Spain head coach Luis Enrique after the latter addressed the speculation surrounding his future.

With Ralf Rangnick's temporary tenure edging towards a close, the heat is being turned up on United's managerial pursuit. The Manchester Evening News understands the 52-year-old Dutchman is the preferred candidate ahead of Mauricio Pochettino, with Enrique and Julen Lopetegui outsiders for the position.

When asked about his future as Spain's head coach, Enrique made it clear he had no intentions of leaving his post in the summer. However, he didn't rule out a move to Old Trafford one day in the future.

"I will be in Qatar with Spain because I have given my word and there is nothing that makes me more excited than representing my country in the World Cup. Later, we'll see.
