Luis Enrique: Major update emerges on Man United target’s future
Luis Enrique: Major update emerges on Man United target’s future Manchester United’s pursuit of a new permanent manager may have just become a little more complicated. The Red Devils parted ways with former head coach Ruben Amorim in January and are looking for his permanent replacement. The Portuguese was brought to Old Trafford by INEOS as Erik ten Hag’s successor in November 2024.
Fresh from a highly fruitful four-year spell with Sporting, Amorim was expected to guide United back to glory, but it was not to be. Instead, the Red Devils removed him from the hot seat at the Theatre of Dreams after a turbulent 14-month reign and appointed Michael Carrick as the caretaker manager until the end of the season. The Englishman has done a stellar job so far, registering seven wins and two draws in his 10 games in charge and helping the team climb up to third in the Premier League.
While there have already been calls to hand Carrick the full-time job, United are keeping their options open ahead of the summer, when a permanent appointment is expected. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique is reportedly among the candidates on INEOS’ wish list for the job. A proven name in Europe Enrique first rose to fame during his stint with Barcelona, where he helped the club win the treble in the 2014/15 campaign.
The Spaniard departed the Catalans in the summer of 2017 to take charge of the Spain national team, having won nine trophies in three seasons at Camp Nou. After two spells with La Roja , Enrique took a brief sabbatical before arriving at the Parc des Princes in the summer of 2023. Last season, the Spaniard helped the Parisians secure a historic treble, including the first Champions League trophy in their history.
