Overview
- United, which sealed a Champions League place with Sunday’s 3-2 win over Liverpool, now has three league games to close out a resurgent run under interim coach Michael Carrick.
- Carrick said Thursday that “clarity is important” on his role and on Friday he added he is “not bothered” by links to other candidates, as the club reiterates a full hiring process after the season.
- Reported contenders include Andoni Iraola and Oliver Glasner, with Julian Nagelsmann viewed as unlikely due to his international commitments, according to local reporting.
- Selection calls loom for the run-in, with Lisandro Martinez short on match fitness and Benjamin Sesko due a late test, as United push to lock in third place and the added prize money it brings.
- Transfer planning is widening for a heavier Champions League schedule, and media reports suggest Casemiro could depart and would accept a wage cut to join Inter Miami.
