The Manchester United list to replace Carrick

Manchester United has drawn up a list of five coaches consisting of Julian Nagelsmann, Thomas Tuchel, Eddie Howe, Unai Emery, and Kieran McKenna to replace Michael Carrick in the dugout.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs on United Stand, the board led by the INEOS group is conducting precautionary checks in case they decide to dismiss the 45-year-old coach due to recent poor results in the Premier League and domestic competitions.

The coach's sporting record at the start of the 2026-2027 season shows only 4 points out of 12 possible in the league, including a 0-1 defeat to Manchester City at home. Pressure on the coach's continuity increased after being eliminated in the League Cup last Wednesday against Brighton, where the team lost 3-2 after squandering a 2-0 lead.

Despite the initial public backing from the club's leadership, Saturday's visit to Fulham before the international break will determine whether the board will make an immediate change in the coaching staff.

The market analysis conducted by Manchester executives includes options with different contractual situations to take the helm. Julian Nagelsmann is currently without a team after his stint with the German national team at the 2026 World Cup, while Thomas Tuchel finished his international commitment with England after the World Cup.

On the other hand, Eddie Howe at Newcastle United, Kieran McKenna at Ipswich Town, and Unai Emery at Aston Villa complete the list of coaches that Manchester United's board considers accessible or with negotiation capacity under the new financial scenario of the club.

Manchester United's board of directors will review the team's performance after the match against Fulham this Saturday. If they fail to secure a victory at Craven Cottage, the Manchester United board will initiate formal discussions with the representatives of the coaches on the list during the international break.
