A FORMER Manchester United coach has been lined up to fill the vacant manager's post at Southampton.
The Saints are on the hunt for a new boss after they were relegated from the Premier League with a whimper.
The Hampshire outfit sit rock bottom of the league table on just 11 points with four games remaining.
Ivan Juric left the St Mary's hotseat after the Saints' relegation was confirmed on April 8, with the former Roma chief having replaced Russell Martin back in December.
Now, according to talkSPORT, the club's hierarchy have turned to a man with Manchester United on his coaching resume.
Eric Ramsay is currently manager of Minnesota United in Major League Soccer, a position he took up after leaving Old Trafford.
Englishman Ramsay, 33, joined United in 2021 to be a part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's backroom staff, and he was retained when Ralf Rangnick and Erik Ten Hag took over the helm,
He was dubbed United's "secret weapon", thanks to his trilingual skills - fluent in French and Spanish - which helped to integrate foreign players into the first-team fold at Old Trafford.
But, in February 2024, he departed United to move stateside and take up his first full managerial position at Minnesota, becoming the youngest ever MLS head coach.
He guided them to sixth in the Western Conference in his first term.
But they were beaten 6-2 by the LA Galaxy in the Conference play-off semi-finals.
This year, Ramsay has led Minnesota to fourth in the Western Conference, on course for another play-off campaign.
