Top candidate for Old Trafford. Nagelsmann ready to take charge of Manchester United

German coach Julian Nagelsmann has emerged as one of the leading candidates to become Manchester United’s head coach should Michael Carrick be dismissed, and he is ready to take charge of the team without delay.

Details: According to respected sports broadcaster Sky Sport Deutschland, the 39-year-old coach considers a move to the English Premier League an excellent option for the next stage of his career. Although Carrick still retains the trust of the Manchester club’s hierarchy, a run of disappointing results is forcing the board to prepare an emergency plan for a change in the dugout.

At the same time, developments surrounding the coach are being closely monitored in his homeland. In particular, German club RB Leipzig remain seriously interested in Nagelsmann, hoping for his possible return to the Red Bulls if Martin Demichelis fails to deliver the expected progress in the table.

It is worth noting that Julian Nagelsmann has established himself as one of the brightest tactical minds of the new generation, enjoying successful spells in charge of Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and the Germany national team. His commitment to an energetic attacking style and his ability to build an effective pressing game are viewed by Manchester United’s hierarchy as qualities capable of restoring the club to a leading role in England and European competition.
