Manchester United have been linked to multiple managers in recent months, and Julian Nagelsmann is a top target to replace Michael Carrick. 

The former Manchester United midfielder has done quite well since taking over at Old Trafford, but he is the interim boss and is likely to be replaced in the summer.

Man United keen on Julian Nagelsmann

According to a report from Football Insider, the 38-year-old German manager is the top target for the Premier League club, and it will be interesting to see if they can convince him to take over. He is currently the manager of the German national team, and he could be open to a fresh challenge after the World Cup.

The report claims that Jurgen Klopp could replace him as the manager of the German national team in the summer. It remains to be seen whether the 38-year-old is ready to manage Manchester United. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to take over at Old Trafford could be exciting for him.

He has managed big clubs like Bayern Munich in the past, and he helped them win the title. He knows what it takes to manage an elite club and win major trophies. He is highly rated in the game and regarded as one of the finest young managers. Nagelsmann has been nicknamed “Mini-Mourinho” by Tim Wiese.

Manchester United have spent heavily in recent years, but they have not been able to fight for major trophies. A quality manager could help them bounce back strongly and return to the top of English football once again. There is no doubt that Nagelsmann has the quality to succeed in the Premier League. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

  1. Julian Nagelsman is a great manager. Man Utd should make him manager not a coach, Also need to give him freedom to sign atleast 50% of new signings this coming transfer window.
    If the club wants to see immediate results, let them be prepared to rip their managerial structure to give the coach more freedom to transform the team.
