Ancelotti, Tuchel, Enrique: Neville names his ideal pick for United job Manchester United have gone from strength to strength under caretaker manager Michael Carrick, but not everyone is convinced he should be handed the permanent job. The Red Devils sacked former head coach Ruben Amorim in mid-January following a poor run of results and appointed the Englishman as his temporary replacement until the end of the season.

None of them managed super clubs with the scrutiny at the level of United.
