The Story in 60 Seconds

Matt Smith of GiveMeSport argues that Manchester United must aggressively pursue Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler if they decide to replace current manager Michael Carrick. With Carrick under significant pressure following just one Premier League win so far this season, the club is succession planning and has reportedly considered candidates including Unai Emery, Eddie Howe, Hurzeler, and Julian Nagelsmann.

While reports indicate Emery is close to signing a new deal at Aston Villa and Hurzeler is reluctant to move mid-season, Smith contends that United should attempt to persuade the Brighton boss with strong financial backing, high wages, and a long-term contract as Brighton sits third in the Premier League table.
