An update on Manchester United’s academy transfer business with deals for several top prospects currently being discussed.
The club want to be proactive in strengthening the youth sides this summer and recruiting for the future.
With @SullyTalkz 🤝
The manager situation has been one of uncertainty and confliction with a lot of fans confused on what the club are actually doing, so I'm going to try give a bit of an overview from what I've heard, as of the time i'm tweeting this.
It's been very well reported that Michael Carrick is the favourite for the permanent role. A lot of people within the club like him due to his calm and composed personality and how's he's done since joining in January. The plan was always to appoint a permanent in the summer but he's done so well, he's being considered for the permanent role.
One thing I've heard is that there is a level of hesitation and wariness amongst senior officials regarding Carrick. This doesn't mean he won't get the job, but there's concerns regarding whether he can play a sustainable brand of football long-term and be the man to win us trophies given his experience. I expect some level of formal talks with candidates in the near future however it's not inaccurate to say Carrick is in the lead.
I also know this: Julian Nagelsmann is admired internally with some form of contact with his representatives held - just to see his availability and viability. #MUFC have liked him for years now and wanted him when ETH got sacked. Vivell has advocated for him internally. The main obstacle has always been and will be the world cup as the German manager is open to joining.
Jason Wilcox, Omar Berrada and co all know this decision could potentially impact the club's futures for the next decade given the failure of how they dealt with the ten Hag and Ruben Amorim situation. This is why there has been a lack of movement and updates as they take caution with every step. 'Whatever decision they decide to do, it MUST be right', is the feeling internally.
