LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – The victory over Roma has provided some breathing room, but Michael Carrick knows his position on the Manchester United bench is far from secure. The nine-match winless streak across league and cup competitions still weighs heavily, and the upcoming clash against Aston Villa will serve as another test for the English manager.
The timing is also significant, as an international break follows—an ideal moment for a potential managerial change. In any case, according to “Sky Sports UK,” should Carrick be dismissed, Old Trafford officials would not look for another interim solution—as was the case with Carrick himself following the departure of the previous manager—but rather for a coach to lead a long-term project.
With Unai Emery nearing a contract extension at Aston Villa, names such as Julian Nagelsmann, Fabian Hürzeler, and Eddie Howe remain in the frame. Meanwhile, Didier Deschamps has reportedly said “no, thanks”; according to “The Mirror,” the former France national team coach was approached about the possibility of taking charge of the Red Devils, but he declined.
The 58-year-old—who previously managed Juventus and Marseille and has not worked at the club level since 2012—prefers to keep his options open.
