Manchester United Faces Dilemma in Manager Replacement

Departure of Ruben Amorim

Manchester United’s management is currently divided over how to proceed with the replacement of their recently dismissed manager, Ruben Amorim, who left his position on Monday after an 18-month tenure at Old Trafford.

Interim Leadership and Future Plans

In the meantime, U18 head coach Darren Fletcher has been appointed as the interim manager for the upcoming week. There are indications that the club is keen to secure a new manager in the near future.

Considerations for Caretaker Appointment

It has been proposed that a more seasoned caretaker be brought in to lead the team through the remainder of the season, after which the management can reevaluate their options. However, reports from the Mirror suggest that a faction of the board advocates for an immediate long-term solution, even if it involves substantial financial investment to secure a desirable candidate.

Potential Candidates for the Role

Manchester United’s search for a new manager includes several high-profile names, such as free agents Enzo Maresca, Xavi, and Zinedine Zidane. Additionally, they are looking at Oliver Glasner (associated with Crystal Palace), Mauricio Pochettino (based in the USA), and Thomas Tuchel (from England) as potential hires.
