Manchester United held surprise talks with Fulham head coach Marco Silva as they considered Erik ten Hag’s future.
Dutchman Ten Hag will remain as Old Trafford boss following an end-of-season review carried out by owners Ineos.
United spoke to a number of managers before deciding to stay with Ten Hag.
Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Frank held talks with Ineos in the week leading up to the FA Cup final victory against Manchester City.
Thomas Tuchel was also one of the managers who met with United representatives.

And it has now emerged that Fulham boss Silva has also held talks with the executives of Ineos in their search for a possible successor to Ten Hag.
Silva has cemented his reputation at Craven Cottage. After initially guiding the club back to the Premier League in 2022, the Portuguese has built a team that has remained comfortably in the top flight over the past two seasons.
Silva’s future could come under scrutiny again this summer as he emerges as a possible replacement for Nuno Espirito Santo at Nottingham Forest.
Santo’s future at the City Ground is unclear as we head into the summer and Silva has admirers at Forest.
