Potential candidates to replace Michael Carrick as Manchester United's head coach believe there's a distinct lack of discipline in the club's dressing room that urgently needs to be addressed. This is according to a report by The Telegraph.
Concerns have intensified following public criticisms from Lisandro Martinez and Bruno Fernandes regarding the club's transfer strategy and tactical approach.
It's clear they need order and discipline, said a source close to one of the candidates. The dressing room has gotten out of control, and that’s the first thing that must be fixed.
This sentiment is echoed by those around another contender for the role:
Players are speaking too much. Manchester United is one of the greatest clubs in the world, and that needs to be respected.
Currently, the leading candidates for the vacant position are Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann, both of whom are reportedly backed by influential figures within the club’s hierarchy. Despite the ongoing speculation, Michael Carrick remains at the helm as he prepares for the Premier League clash against Bournemouth this Sunday.
