Man United Steps Up Manager Search After Amorim Exit, With Solskjaer and Carrick in Contention

UK reports also position Amorim as a Benfica candidate, with Mourinho still under contract through 2027.

Overview

  • Darren Fletcher is serving as interim head coach and oversaw a 2-2 draw at Burnley, with Benjamin Sesko scoring both goals for Manchester United.
  • Club executives Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox held phone discussions with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick on Tuesday, according to the Daily Mail.
  • In-person meetings are expected next, and one of the two could take charge for the remainder of the season, per the reports.
  • Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano says Solskjaer has expressed strong interest in the job.
  • Separately, the Daily Mail links Amorim to Benfica as a leading option, though José Mourinho faces pressure but remains contracted through 2027 after a 3-1 Allianz Cup semi-final defeat to Braga and a widening league gap.
