Manchester United is preparing for yet another change in the dugout. Michael Carrick’s future has been called into question after his last three matches, while the club’s leadership has begun considering alternatives for the new coach.
Carrick had three matches to convince the leadership that he deserved to continue at the helm of the team, but the record has not been convincing: one win, one draw and one defeat. Success came after the comeback in the Champions League against Roma, while United then drew 4-4 with Aston Villa and were beaten by Chelsea.
According to reports from England, the leadership of the “Red Devils” aims to use the international break to find a new coach. Among the names mentioned is also Antonio Conte, but the situation appears different from what has been reported.
According to sources close to the Italian coach, the former Napoli manager does not currently consider a move to Manchester United. The reason is linked to the uncertainties and lack of stability in the club’s environment, conditions that do not favor the start of a new project.
Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino is mentioned as the main candidate. The Argentine coach has a clause in his contract with the United States Soccer Federation that could allow his immediate departure.
The list of alternatives also mentions Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann. Manchester United is expected to make an important decision about the future of the dugout in the coming weeks.
