Man Utd Targets Luis Enrique as Next Head Coach
Manchester United have identified Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique as a primary target in their search for a new permanent head coach, according to reports, following the dismissal of Ruben Amorim earlier this month. The club announced on Tuesday that former midfielder Michael Carrick will serve as interim manager until the end of the 2025-26 season, allowing time for a thorough evaluation of candidates ahead of a summer appointment.
United's hierarchy, including co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, seeks a proven leader capable of managing the intense pressure at Old Trafford, where expectations remain high despite the team's current struggles. Enrique, 55, emerges as a leading option due to his extensive track record of success. During his three-year tenure at Barcelona from 2014 to 2017, he secured nine major trophies, including the 2015 Champions League title as part of a historic treble. He later guided the Spanish national team from 2018 to 2022 before taking over at PSG in 2023, where he has added 10 more honors, notably ending the club's long wait for European glory with a 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in last season's Champions League final.
