United want to find a solution for the disappointing season, while Michael Carrick has been given yet another opportunity to lead the team. However, the confidence in him appears temporary, and the upcoming results will be decisive for the coach’s future.
One of the names mentioned as an alternative for the “Red Devils” bench is Antonio Conte. The Italian coach was seen as a candidate who could change the situation at Manchester, but recent developments suggest he may be waiting for an opportunity from Juventus.
According to reports from the Italian media, the fact that Manchester United’s leadership has begun considering other candidates shows that the club does not want to remain dependent on a single name.
Eddie Howe, former Newcastle United manager, has also appeared on the list of candidates. The English coach is considered one of the managers who have influenced the development of British football with his tactical ideas and the way he organizes his team.
Howe left Newcastle in July, despite having a long-term contract. According to The Telegraph, the club may have foreseen financial measures in case the coach took charge of a rival, with compensation that could reach six million pounds.
If Manchester United decides to focus on Howe, then it must account not only for the possible compensation but also for the costs of the new coach’s contract. It remains to be seen whether Howe would be willing to return to management immediately. According to reports, the English coach is open to considering a possible offer from the Premier League big club.
Another alternative for Manchester United is Julian Nagelsmann, the German coach who managed the Germany national team. His name has been mentioned as an option for the English club’s leadership if they decide not to continue with Carrick.
