Premier League Manager Emerges as Favourite to Replace Carrick at Manchester United

The club has won just two of its first nine games, and The Sun says Hurzeler is a leading candidate if Carrick is dismissed.

  • Manchester United are reportedly considering Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler as a potential replacement for manager Michael Carrick amid a difficult start to the season at Old Trafford.
  • Following Tuesday's defeat to Atletico Madrid, pressure is mounting on Carrick, with United winless in their last five matches and holding just two victories from their opening nine games.
  • Former midfielder Scholes noted Hurzeler has a 'body of work in the Premier League,' unlike Carrick's stint at Middlesbrough, while Brighton currently sit third after a 3-0 win over Arsenal.
  • Brighton owner Tony Bloom admitted the club is 'prepared' should a richer club approach the 33-year-old manager, telling The Argus, 'I never worry about losing anyone at the football club.'
  • Reports also link Antonio Conte to the Old Trafford role, and while a coaching change does not appear imminent, the club must evaluate its direction if results do not improve soon.
