Leading manager interested in Man United job, World Cup performance could be crucial
"Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann would reportedly be interested in the Manchester United job and it could be something to watch out for after the World Cup. The 38-year-old will be taking charge of the German national team at the 2026 World Cup tournament in North America this summer, but might be available afterwards. According to Football Insider, Nagelsmann is open to the Man Utd manager position, and it might be that Germany bosses will let him leave early, depending on how the World Cup goes."
"Football Insider's report suggests that Nagelsmann is one of the leading candidates for the Red Devils due to his connections with Christopher Vivell. The pair were together at RB Leipzig and it could make sense that Vivell is now pushing for them to be reunited at Old Trafford. Nagelsmann has long been seen as an impressive coach, even if in some ways he slightly under-performed at former club Bayern Munich."
Julian Nagelsmann will manage Germany at the 2026 World Cup and remains contracted to the national team until after Euro 2028. He is open to the Manchester United managerial role and could be allowed to leave early depending on World Cup performance. Nagelsmann previously led Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich before taking the Germany job. His club win rates were roughly 40% at Hoffenheim, 57% at RB Leipzig and 71% at Bayern, while his Germany win rate is near 59%. A prior working relationship with Christopher Vivell at RB Leipzig links him to Manchester United interest. Enzo Maresca and Oliver Glasner are also named as candidates for the United position.
