Manchester United could be preparing for another change in the dugout, with the club reportedly exploring an experienced name to take charge at Old Trafford.
The situation surrounding Michael Carrick remains under scrutiny, and the latest development suggests United are actively considering their options as they assess the manager’s future.
Manchester United contact Didier Deschamps over managerial role
According to reports circulating on Thursday, Manchester United have made contact with former France manager Didier Deschamps as they look to identify a potential replacement for Carrick.
Deschamps, who left his position with the French national team after the 2026 World Cup, boasts an impressive managerial record, having guided France to the World Cup title in 2018.
He also enjoyed success at club level with Marseille, while previously taking Monaco to the 2004 Champions League final.
However, contact does not necessarily mean an agreement is close, and it remains unclear whether Deschamps would be interested in taking the job.
United have yet to confirm any approach or announce a decision on Carrick’s position.
The coming days could prove significant as the club considers its next move, with the possibility of Deschamps arriving at Old Trafford now adding another name to the managerial conversation.
