Fabrizio Romano provides Man Utd manager search update

Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Manchester United’s search for a permanent successor in the summer of 2026.

Michael Carrick has been appointed as the Man Utd manager on an interim basis for the rest of the season.

The well-known and well-respected Italian journalist has said on his YouTube channel: “Two names I can guarantee will be considered by INEOS are Thomas Tuchel and Roberto De Zerbi.

“Today [I’ve received] many questions on De Zerbi. Let me clarify again, Tuchel is fully focused on England of course, and nothing can be agreed while there is a World Cup coming in the summer, so eventually after that.

“De Zerbi is doing a great job at Marseille, his focus is on Marseille. 

“But these two managers were on the list at Man Utd in the summer of 2024.

“They decided to continue with Erik ten Hag, but before that at that point, they met with De Zerbi and Tuchel.

“So let’s see what’s going to happen with the season. I’m sure the list will include more names, not just these two, but these two are appreciated.”
