Chelsea and Man United to go head-to-head for new head coach
Manchester United have a huge decision to make in the next few weeks. After sacking Ruben Amorim in January, the club hired Darren Fletcher as an interim for two matches and then Michael Carrick.
The Englishman has done a stellar job, with United beating teams such as Manchester City, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Chelsea during his tenure. As a result, the Red Devils find themselves in a great position to secure Champions League football, needing just six points from the remaining five games to consolidate a spot amongst Europeâs elite next season.
Owing to the success the team has had with Carrick at the helm, it is thought that the permanent job is his to lose at this point.
Nonetheless, sources suggest that United are still scouring the market for a replacement coach, and they have been linked to a plethora of names. Names such as AFC Bournemouthâs Andoni Iraola, Germanyâs and âs have been linked to the Old Trafford hotseat.
