Potter, 48, has been out of work since being sacked by the Blues in April.

However, Red Devils supporters are not as keen on Potter judging by their reactions on social media.

One fan posted: “Graham Potter? Would rather have Brian Potter.”

A second commented: “Graham Potter at Yanited? No thanks.”

A third wrote: “Graham Potter … I can’t speak.”

A fourth said: “Ractliffe what are you doing?”

How United could line up under Potter

Another added: “Graham Potter to Man United? This club takes one step forward and two steps backwards.”

Potter has been linked to plenty of jobs since his axe from Chelsea.

However, it is understood he is only prepared to return to the dugout if a major job comes up.

Current boss Erik ten Hag is under pressure at Old Trafford after finishing bottom of their Champions League group.

United have also struggled for consistency in the Premier League, having won nine and lost seven matches this season.
