Man Utd now considering 5-time league winner with 500 games managed at Spanish club

Manchester United are reportedly considering former Barcelona and Athletic Club manager Ernesto Valverde as pressure mounts on current manager Michael Carrick. With United winning only one of their opening ten Premier League matches, club leadership including Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Omar Berrada, and Jason Wilcox are scheduled to meet in Monaco to decide on Carrick's future following a 4-4 draw against Aston Villa.

Valverde, who managed over 500 games across three spells at Athletic Club and won five league titles across Spain and Greece, is currently available. Other candidates under consideration reportedly include Mauricio Pochettino, Eddie Howe, and Julian Nagelsmann, while separate reports suggest the Glazer family may be exploring a club sale valued around £5bn.
