Many people are worried about the future Michael Carrick was given the reins permanently Manchester Unitedno matter what the Englishman does between now and the end of the season.
Supporters and pundits alike regularly point to Solskjaer’s promotion from a temporary role as something to be avoided, as if the Norwegian’s tenure was a total disaster.
Indeed, barring a lack of trophies, Solskjaer remains the best manager since Sir Alex Ferguson, having made gradual progress during his two full seasons in charge with third- and second-place finishes before Cristiano Ronaldo’s shock return.
Solskjaer is not a failure and Carrick is a different person and coach by any means. Regardless, Ineos certainly shouldn’t exclude the Briton from the campaign, at least not until the end of the campaign.
The current manager will certainly remain as manager if he qualifies for the Champions League, although he is clearly not the front-runner at the moment.
Frontrunner emerges in Manchester United manager search
Tuesday’s draw away to West Ham was a minor setback but notable given the change in fortunes since Ruben Amorim was sacked in January.
If the current momentum under Carrick is maintained, there is a real possibility that Ineos could be back to square one if they go a different route this summer, with United unable to afford another short, explosive tenure like Amorim’s.
a man once had Seems ready for this role Former England coach Thomas TuchelHe was interviewed for the position as early as the summer of 2024, although he has now extended his contract with the Three Lions beyond this summer’s World Cup and remains in the dugout until 2028.
Since the Germans seem to be off the table, spanish report It is speculated that the current top target to be appointed as Amorim’s permanent successor is Roberto Dezerbithe Italian is now considered the “clear favourite”.
The former Brighton and Hove Albion boss is on the transfer market again after leaving Ligue 1 side Marseille this week, with his French chapter ending in a 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
The 46-year-old is reportedly keen to return to action as soon as possible, with Old Trafford seen as his “most likely destination” for the 2026/27 season.
Why De Zerbi could be Manchester United’s Tuchel 2.0
One might have felt that Tuchel’s contract extension with England would be a blow to United as the veteran coach has extensive experience at elite level, notably leading Chelsea to Champions League glory in 2021.
To date, he has had an illustrious coaching career with Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, winning league titles in Germany and France.
That said, Tuchel would certainly represent another short-term solution at a time when United are in need of stability, as he hasn’t lasted more than two years in any of his past four positions at the club.
This kind of short-termism – which usually comes when an employer withdraws harshly – has been replicated recently by De Zerbi, a free agent whose longest tenure at Sassuolo was between 2018 and 2021.
Like Tuchel, the enigmatic coach was not afraid to voice his dissatisfaction with the club’s hierarchy and he eventually left Brighton over one game. Differences of opinion with boss Tony Bloom Regarding the club’s recruitment policy.

Supporters might have hoped for the likes of Tuchel or De Zerbi to stand up to the Ineos regime at Old Trafford as the likes of Jason Wilcox were seen as interfering, although that conflict ultimately led to Amorim’s undoing, with the Portuguese coach only remaining in charge for 14 months.
De Zerbi, like Tuchel, is regarded as a “One of the best coaches in the world”, in the eyes of his Marseille team, but he, like Amorim, possesses a passion and brutal honesty that often leads to everything going for naught.
The former Shakhtar Donetsk boss made headlines time and time again during his time in France, particularly for refusing to train his players following last season’s defeat to Reims.
United, having enjoyed Carrick’s calm in recent weeks, do not need the ticking time bomb of another manager and need a long-term plan – something neither Tuchel nor De Zerbi are likely to provide.
