Manchester United have a busy summer coming up this year. With all the transfer requirements that need to be taken care of, the club will also be in the market for a new manager unless they allow Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to continue on a permanent basis.

United's interest in Mauricio Pochettino is well-documented, but the Red Devils are keeping their backup plans ready, in case they fail to land the Tottenham boss for a full-time role.

According to the Mirror, the Red Devils have already spoken to Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone regarding a permanent managerial role at Old Trafford starting from this summer.
