Both managers have been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Spanish national team coach Luis Enrique has been rumoured to be wanted by Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
But, Enrique has ruled out the speculations, insisting that he is happy with his current position at La Roja. He also joked that “was it april fool’s day?” when he was asked about Man Utd rumours.
The former Barcelona manager said (h/t Goal): “Is it April Fools’ Day today? I’m already in the biggest team in Spain with 5,000 players.”
Ajax coach Erik ten Hag is also reportedly high on the wishlist of the Red Devils for the managerial position.
However, the Dutch coach has shrugged off the rumours, stating that there was no contact with the Premier League giants and he is solely focused on Ajax.
Ten Hag said (h/t The Sun): “I am focused on my team, we have a brilliant squad and we want to achieve a lot. We want to fight for titles. My focus is on Ajax, the rest only distracts. I expect from my players that they are focused on Ajax, so I have to give the right example for that too.
“You keep asking me [about my position as Ajax boss]. Yes, it is a weird question. I have heard nothing about [United’s interest], so I can’t think about it.”
Man Utd have also identified Mauricio Pochettino and Zinedine Zidane as replacements for Solskjaer.
Zidane is said to be not interested in a move to the Premier League, while Pochettino is reportedly ready to leave PSG and take over as the manager at United.
