Emmanuel Petit: Luis Enrique Unlikely to Join Manchester United Under Current Power Structure

Petit's remarks question United's ability to attract elite coaches under its leadership model.

Overview

  • The former France international told German outlet Hochgepokert that Enrique would reject Old Trafford unless granted full managerial control rather than a head-coach role.
  • Petit described United's hierarchy as interfering in football decisions and cited INEOS's influence as a deterrent to elite candidates.
  • He said Enrique has not signed an extension at Paris Saint‑Germain and argued that the coach values the authority he currently enjoys in Paris.
  • Manchester United remain in a managerial search after sacking Ruben Amorim, with Michael Carrick serving as interim and starting with a 2-0 win over Manchester City.
  • Offering a contrasting view, ex-United player Kleberson told GOAL he wants Enrique at the club, praising the Spaniard's leadership and player relationships.
