Man United Assess Julian Nagelsmann for Permanent Role as Carrick Takes Interim Charge

Recruitment chief Christopher Vivell is advocating for the Germany coach, whose contract through Euro 2028 complicates any summer move.

Overview

  • Sources report Nagelsmann is interested in the Old Trafford job if he returns to club management after the World Cup.
  • Manchester United are conducting due diligence on multiple candidates as they plan a permanent appointment.
  • Michael Carrick is expected to guide the team until the end of the season in an interim capacity.
  • Naglesmann remains under contract with Germany through Euro 2028, which would likely require significant compensation for an early release.
  • His potential availability could be influenced by Germany’s performance at the 2026 World Cup, with Enzo Maresca also in contention and Oliver Glasner viewed more skeptically following Crystal Palace’s poor run.
