The dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has unleashed the wave of speculation, where possible candidates who will replace the Norwegian begin to appear. At the moment, interim coach Michel Carrick will lead the ‘Red Devils’, but Cristiano Ronaldo has already nominated his favorite coach.
As reported by Sky Sports, the Portuguese has suggested to the Spanish coach Luis Enrique, who currently directs the Spanish team but the former Barcelona coach has already given his opinion on the matter.
Luis Enrique has repeated on several occasions that he is very happy directing the team of his país, who recently qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and will complete his cycle until the top football tournament ends.
In this sense, there is no way that Luis Enrique takes the reins of the ‘Red Devils’ for the moment. However, there is another candidate who has been gaining strength and that Cristiano Ronaldo knows very well.
It is about Zinedine zidane, who is not currently directing and if he assumes the position at Manchester United he would meet again with Ronaldo and Varane, footballers who he directed at Madrid and with whom he won 3 Champions.
Despite the interest of the ‘Red Devils’ for the French, the strategist rejected a first offer because he does not see a project in the team. However, the Manchester team will not give up and will make you a new offer very soon.
Other contenders for Manchester United’s bench are Erik ten Hag, coach of Ajax and Brendan Rodgers, of Leicester.
