Overview
- Reports on Friday said Julian Nagelsmann has reservations about the Chelsea job, which is seen as a boost for Manchester United.
- Chelsea, who sacked Liam Rosenior and named McFarlane as interim, are reported to want a quick appointment rather than wait for Nagelsmann to finish with Germany after the summer World Cup.
- At Old Trafford, interim coach Michael Carrick has lifted United’s form and remains a leading in-house candidate for the permanent role.
- United recruitment chief Christoph Vivell is described in reports as a strong backer of Nagelsmann, with some outlets saying initial conversations have taken place.
- With Chelsea sounding out alternatives such as Ruben Amorim, the timing gap could shape both clubs’ summer recruitment and pre-season plans.
