Despite Michael Carrick's appointment as Manchester United's head coach, the club is still actively searching for a new long-term manager and has started considering potential candidates to permanently replace Ruben Amorim.
Details: According to a DailyMail journalist, one of the frontrunners for the head coach position is Roberto De Zerbi, who previously impressed with his work at Brighton and is currently managing French side Marseille. The Italian tactician is renowned for his tactical versatility and experience in top European leagues, making him an attractive option for the Red Devils.
In addition to De Zerbi, the list of potential candidates includes coaches with Premier League and national team experience. Among the available options are Oliver Glasner, Marco Silva, Andoni Iraola, as well as such high-profile names as Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, and Carlo Ancelotti, who could be available after the World Cup. The club recognizes that it cannot afford another mistake in choosing a manager and is carefully evaluating all possibilities.
The report also states that the club's transfer strategy will not undergo radical changes. Despite Amorim's departure, Manchester United will continue working towards previously set targets, such as Antoine Semenyo, and will be cautious regarding player exits. This is particularly relevant for Joshua Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte, and Kobbie Mainoo, who is considering a loan move if he fails to secure regular playing time under Carrick.
Reminder: Wayne Rooney could join Michael Carrick's coaching staff at Manchester United.
