United internally dream of appointing 55-yo manager who has won 19 trophies – Fabrizio Romano

The list of elite managers capable of managing Manchester United and available to take over the helm ahead of next season is getting shorter by the day. Champions League winning managers Thomas Tuchel and Carlo Ancelotti have extended their contracts with England and Brazil respectively. Meanwhile, the maverick tactician Roberto De Zerbi has accepted the challenge of helping Tottenham Hotspur avoid relegation.  Luis Enrique, who has been described as “the best manager in the world”, is another name plenty of United supporters would wholeheartedly accept as their boss. However, the recent development in Paris would disappoint many in Manchester. Luis Enrique admired at Manchester United According to Fabrizio Romano, Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique is admired internally at Manchester United, with some figures at Old Trafford dreaming of the 55-year-old Spaniard becoming the club’s manager. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said: “There were some stories in England about this and many of you keep asking me the reality on Luis Enrique and Manchester United. “Let me say like this there is someone internally at Manchester United who is big big fan and dreams of Luis Enrique as Manchester United manager one day.” However, the Italian journalist added that Enrique, who has won 19 trophies during his managerial career, is currently busy negotiating a new contract in the French capital. Michael Carrick has impressed Man United decision-makers Meanwhile, United are believed to be happy with interim head coach Michael Carrick‘s work so far.  United’s “internal process” to find the best possible candidate for the permanent job remains ongoing. Still, with each passing day, Carrick’s chance of getting the much-coveted role is increasing.  The Red Devils have taken 23 points from a possible 30 under Carrick, who has put the side within touching distance of a Champions League return after taking over the reins from Ruben Amorim in January. Third-placed United are scheduled to face their fierce rivals Leeds United at home on Monday night.
