Manchester United fans, get ready for an exciting summer! The hunt for the club’s next permanent manager is officially on, with current interim Michael Carrick holding the fort until a long-term solution is found. And it seems the pool of talent for the Old Trafford hot seat is growing rapidly.
The biggest news comes from Oliver Glasner, who has announced he’ll be leaving Crystal Palace at the end of the season for a “new challenge.” This immediately puts the FA Cup winner directly in the frame for United, aligning perfectly with their timeline for an appointment. Glasner, however, insists he hasn’t spoken to any other clubs yet, focused on finishing strong with Palace.
But Glasner isn’t the only big name in the mix. Several other high-profile managers could become available after the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Think Thomas Tuchel, currently with England, or Mauricio Pochettino, leading the USMNT. There’s also Carlo Ancelotti, steering Brazil, whose contract situation remains a developing story.
Further intriguing possibilities include Zinedine Zidane, who has been out of management since his Real Madrid glory days, and former Barcelona boss Xavi, who has expressed interest in a Premier League challenge. Even Gareth Southgate, stepping down from England next summer, hasn’t ruled out a return to club football.
United chiefs have a massive decision ahead. With a roster of world-class managers potentially available, who will be the one to lead the Red Devils into their next era? The next few months promise plenty of speculation and excitement!
