A rich club means a rich choice.

While the new manager may be off to a light start in the Champions League, with United now eleven points clear of Aston Villa after losing to Foden in the Manchester derby, the Devils’ new bosses have a privilege. One of the richest clubs in the world is negotiating with dozens of candidates to replace ten Hag, who is beginning to tire the team and Sir Ratcliffe, the new co-owner of Manchester United, with routine excuses after new defeats.
There are so many candidates – 20 people were listed in the press – that it is important to divide them into groups so as not to get confused.
Unsuitable candidates
Mauricio Pochettino, Xavi Hernandez, Gareth Southgate, Jose Mourinho
Pochettino – no comment. If the coach of the crisis Chelsea is taken to Manchester United, then this is a diagnosis for the club. The return of Mourinho is even worse than the return of Solskjaer, because they have different attitudes to money for transfers. Xavi failed to cope with Barcelona, which he understood, and the Spaniard has no chance of great success at Manchester United. Southgate is also not a mentor for a difficult club where you have to work every day. It’s good that these coaches are definitely not at the top of the list of candidates. If you see news about the official appointment of any of these candidates, then you can safely not believe in the changes at Manchester United.
No candidates
Julen Lopetegui, Kieran McKenna, Michael Carrick
Let’s throw ourselves into one of the most difficult clubs in the world for manager Lopetegui, who failed to cope with Real Madrid, where there is much more order, and did not stay in the Premier League at Wolverhampton. Or let’s appoint the 37-year-old Ipswich coach McKenna as the coach of Manchester United in order to ruin the career of a promising guy. There are no candidates here; their invitation will make the club neither cold nor hot. As well as the appointment of Carrick, because this is a repetition of Solskjaer’s experience. Michael is a Manchester United legend, but his Middlesbrough are in 12th place in the Championship. It’s too early for him to reach the Premier League level.
Average candidates
Graham Potter, Unai Emery, Antonio Conte
It is surprising that in England they believe in Potter’s appointment. He’s a coach for Brighton, but at Chelsea he had as much trouble communicating with the stars as Andre Villas-Boas did in the past. In this category there was one aggressive champion – Antonio Conte, and two people whose softness does not allow them to achieve championship success in clubs of the level of Chelsea and Arsenal. Moreover, each of the three is a strong enough specialist to interest Manchester United. Conte seems to want to return to Serie A and is eyeing Milan. And Potter is ready for a new job; he could be appointed to Manchester United if Ashworth, the future director of the club, insists on it. While Emery has emerged as a candidate thanks to Aston Villa’s success, the Birmingham club could take the Devils’ place in the Champions League. But Unai did not show himself to be a mentor at PSG for a rich hegemon with ambitions in Europe.
Normal candidates
Julian Nagelsmann, Thomas Tuchel, Thomas Frank
We know the disadvantages of the two Germans – Nagelsmann and Tuchel are too difficult to communicate with to become favorites of the public and bosses at Manchester United. Ten Hag is also not a gift, because he almost never takes responsibility. After 11 years without a championship title, do the Red Devils need mentors who failed to cope with the great champion Bayern? Hardly. But class speaks in favor of the Germans. And the successes of the Dane Frank at Brentford allow him to be included in this category. But Manchester United are not Newcastle to look for their Eddie Howe. The Manchester club simply does not have another five years to thoughtfully build the club’s structure. If you don’t rush with strong-willed changes, you will always be one step behind your main competitors.
Promising candidates
Thiago Motta, Ruben Amorim, Michel
Bologna is playing interestingly in Serie A, Motta has a stubborn team. Sporting is trying to knock Atalanta out of the Europa League playoffs – Miranchuk’s assist prevented the Portuguese from winning the first match, but Ruben Amorim is doing a great job with the Lions. The Portuguese can safely be called one of the most promising mentors in Europe. And Michel shows class in Girona, although the length of the bench and the reserve of strength are unlikely to be enough for the Catalans for a full-fledged championship race with Real. They ran out of steam and started repeating themselves. There are questions for Michel regarding defensive tactics, so he is definitely on the list of the most promising coaches, but he is unlikely to make a breakthrough with Manchester United. In this trio, everyone does not have enough experience for an easy championship run in such a difficult league as the Premier League.
Great candidates
Roberto De Dzerbi, Xabi Alonso, Simone Inzaghi, Zinedine Zidane
There is no ideal candidate as the recent English champions are still in a strong position and Arteta has had many years and money to build a successful Arsenal side. So there are excellent coaches here, not in the sense of repeating the successes of Sir Alex Ferguson. There is no Klopp here for Manchester United to work for many years in a row. It’s just that the specialists from these four are noticeably more powerful as a coaching unit right now than the rest of the two dozen candidates. The styles differ, but all can clean up their act, offer a new philosophy and cling to success in Europe. Just what unites them? Everyone’s first instinct is to refuse. Zidane has been running from Manchester United for a long time. Zizou is a great football man with titles and character, but not as flexible a mentor as the others in the trio. Alonso played for Liverpool and will not go to Manchester United on principle. Two Italians remain, De Zerbi and Inzaghi, but they have different approaches to football.
It’s not easy to choose the perfect coach for the Devils. But we know for sure that ten Hag is not working in such a way that there would be a desire to leave him at the helm after the end of the season. They spent a lot of money, and Klopp, Guardiola and Arteta are fighting for the championship. The coach is more important than general expenses, which do not guarantee a title in the Premier League. And while Manchester United is looking for its ideal mentor. But the sheer number of candidates being assessed hints at the difficulty of the selection.
