MU selects 5 candidates to replace Carrick

Manchester United's management has compiled a list of five potential candidates to replace Michael Carrick after this season.

Carrick's future as Manchester United manager is uncertain.

According to ESPN , the Old Trafford club has identified five other names who could be potential replacements for Carrick. This list includes Unai Emery (Aston Villa), Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth), Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace), Roberto De Zerbi (former Brighton manager), and Julian Nagelsmann (Germany national team coach).

Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino is managing the US national team and is not in Manchester United's plans. Many sources suggest the Argentinian strategist could return to Tottenham after his contract with the US Soccer Federation expires following the 2026 World Cup.

Carrick was appointed to replace Ruben Amorim on a temporary contract until the end of the season. The decision was initially seen as a stopgap measure, but the results far exceeded expectations. Under the guidance of the former legendary midfielder, MU won 6 out of 8 Premier League matches, climbing to third place in the table and opening up a great opportunity to qualify for the Champions League.

However, ESPN asserts that Carrick's official appointment is not yet guaranteed. While the management appreciates his achievements, they still want to carefully consider all aspects before making a final decision about the team's long-term future.

Previously, MU had targeted Thomas Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti. Both were highly successful strategists who met INEOS's tactical criteria. However, Tuchel's acceptance of the England national team coaching offer and Ancelotti's appointment to manage the Brazil national team significantly altered the Red Devils' plans.
