Manchester United’s permanent manager plan has been confirmed as the clock ticks on the current campaign, MySportDab reports.
With a handful of matches remaining in the season, top on the United hierarchy’s agenda is a permanent manager that will replace interim hand Michael Carrick.
According to Football Insider, the search for a new manager is underway and top names in Europe remain priority choices for the Old Trafford club.
The report further adds that the club are open to evaluating and assessing top possible names for the role and want to be as efficient as possible through in-depth examination of potential candidates.
Moreover, Michael Carrick is understood to be firmly in the discussion for the payment manager role given his immediate impact after assuming the reins on interim basis.
Carrick has led United to an impressive six-match unbeaten run, including a remarkable five-of-five record which comprised victories against Premier League heavyweights Manchester City, Arsenal, and Tottenham Hotspur.
He has also endeared himself to the United dressing with top Man United players understood to be throwing their weight behind him to emerge as the permanent manager.
However, Carrick’s chances are still debatable given his not-so-stellar managerial profile compared to other bigwigs in the game.
Notwithstanding, insider sources claim the former Middlesbrough manager stands a good chance of securing the permanent role should he secure Champions League football for the club by finishing in the top four.
United currently sit fourth in the Premier League table, but with just a one-point cushion from the seething battle for Champions League football.
They needed Benjamin Sesko’s stoppage-time equaliser to pick up a valuable one point at London Stadium against West Ham United in their last match and will look to return to winning ways when they travel to face Everton on Monday night.
