Manchester United appointed Michael Carrick as their head coach until the end of the season in January, and he has done quite well so far. According to a report by Football Insider, he is now the overwhelming favourite to take over as the permanent manager of the club at the end of the season. However, Manchester United are keeping tabs on other potential targets, with Niko Kovac being looked as a potential alternative.
The 54-year-old has done a decent job in Germany with Borussia Dortmund, and he could prove to be an interesting addition. He has more experience than Carrick, but the former Manchester United midfielder has done really well so far.
The English tactician has helped steady the ship, and Manchester United are now on a winning run. The Red Devils are looking to finish the season strongly and secure Champions League football for the next season. If they manage to do so, the club hierarchy is likely to persist with the 44-year-old manager. He has certainly earned a shot at the permanent manager’s job.
If things do not go according to plan, the 54-year-old German manager could be an option for them. The Croat has certainly managed big clubs in his career, and he knows what it takes to compete at the highest level. He will be excited to take on a role at Manchester United if the opportunity presents itself.
Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and it will be quite tempting for him to take on the project. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks. Manchester United have done really well in recent matches, and they will continue in their impressive run of form and finish as strongly as possible.
Meanwhile, Kovac has done well at Borussia Dortmund, and the Bundesliga giants will not want to lose him easily. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the 54-year-old tactician to stay at Signal Iduna Park beyond this season.
