Julian Nagelsmann is rapidly becoming a preferred choice among the decision-makers at Manchester United. The club is actively weighing up Michael Carrick's future after a series of underwhelming performances, with the latest 0-3 defeat at home to Bournemouth heightening the scrutiny on the manager.
According to The Times, recruitment director Christopher Vivell is particularly keen on Nagelsmann, having previously collaborated successfully with him at RB Leipzig. On the flip side, sporting director Jason Wilcox is backing Eddie Howe, citing his rich experience in the Premier League as a significant factor.
Both Nagelsmann and Howe have emerged as clear frontrunners on the club's shortlist. The German coach, who has previously managed Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, and the German national team, is held in high regard, even receiving praise from former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
He is really, really good in terms of pure coaching ability.
The tactical flexibility offered by Nagelsmann appeals to the club's owners; however, his lack of Premier League experience remains a considerable point of contention.
