Overview
- Multiple outlets on Friday reported that Luis Enrique is set to extend his PSG deal, leaving him unlikely to be in contention for Manchester United this summer.
- Interim manager Michael Carrick has seven wins, two draws and one defeat in ten games, which has lifted United to third and strengthened his claim to the role.
- United plan to decide after the season ends, and club sources say they have not opened formal talks with external candidates to avoid disrupting current form.
- INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are seen as leaning toward Carrick, while chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox had shown interest in Enrique.
- PSG president Nasser Al‑Khelaifi is driving Enrique’s renewal, with the signing of Spanish prospect Dro Fernandez described by sources as a sweetener to back the coach’s long-term project.
