"According to the Manchester Evening News, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazers want to have their new manager in place before the North American World Cup gets underway on June 11. That decision would seemingly rule out the likes of Carlo Ancelotti, Julian Nagelsmann and Mauricio Pochettino, who could all depart their posts after the tournament having taken charge of Brazil, Germany and the USA respectively."
"One manager the deadline wouldn't affect as much is Paris Saint-Germain's Luis Enrique, with 'numerous' senior United officials seeing the Spaniard as their preferred choice for the job. However, there is a fear that the 55-year-old could extend his stay at the Parc des Princes, having already won two Ligue 1 titles and a Champions League during his time in charge."
"While Carrick has impressed everybody with his adaptation to being the main man at United, Luis Enrique has been described as the 'best coach in the world' following his exploits with PSG, and it would be hard to disagree."
Manchester United's leadership, including Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazers, intends to secure a permanent manager before the World Cup begins on June 11. Michael Carrick has impressed as interim manager, winning six of eight matches and elevating United to third place, positioning them for Champions League qualification. However, the club views Luis Enrique, currently at Paris Saint-Germain, as their preferred candidate. The early appointment deadline would eliminate managers like Carlo Ancelotti, Julian Nagelsmann, and Mauricio Pochettino, who are committed to their national teams through the tournament. Luis Enrique's availability and track record make him an attractive option, though concerns exist about potential contract extensions at PSG.
