The future of Manchester United’s bench is once again at the center of discussions.
Despite the team’s noticeable improvement in recent weeks and the fact that the club is close to securing a return to the Champions League, Michael Carrick’s continuity is not guaranteed.
The English coach, who took over on an interim basis after the departure of Ruben Amorim, has stood out with his performances in terms of results.
However, according to reports, the decision appears to have been made behind the scenes. The club is looking for a new manager to oversee next season’s project.
Carrick’s work as manager has been widely praised. He has managed to stabilise Manchester United at a critical juncture and revive a team that seemed lost.
Under his leadership, the team has regained competitiveness and is back in the race for Champions League qualification.
However, these merits have not been enough to ensure his continuity. The club’s board believes that the project requires a different profile, with more experience in managing elite teams and the ability to lead a long-term reconstruction.
The name that has gained the most weight in recent weeks is Julian Nagelsmann. The current Germany coach is the leading candidate to take over at Manchester United next summer.
The club has already begun talks with the German coach, assessing that his profile matches the idea of building a modern, dynamic and competitive project.
Nagelsmann is known for his tactical intelligence, focus on developing young talent and experience at the highest levels of European football.
