Man Utd next manager: Current PL boss named ‘favourite’ to replace Michael Carrick on one condition

Journalist Kaveh Solhekol stated that Aston Villa manager Unai Emery would be the favourite to replace Michael Carrick at Manchester United if he were available. Carrick faces intense pressure following a nine-match winless streak and a recent 2-0 defeat against Chelsea, though Fabrizio Romano reports he is expected to stay in charge through upcoming fixtures against AS Roma and Aston Villa.

Manchester United's hierarchy reportedly plans to fully evaluate the managerial situation during the approaching international break. Alongside Emery, Solhekol named Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann as top candidates, though Emery remains contracted at Aston Villa through 2029.
