Manchester United have made contact with former France manager Didier Deschamps as the club continues to explore managerial options amid growing uncertainty surrounding Michael Carrick’s future.
That is according to a report from French outlet Foot Mercato, which claims that Manchester United board leaders have reached out to Deschamps in recent days to see if he is interested in taking over at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils’ hierarchy is actively sounding out elite profiles to stabilise the club during a chaotic Premier League campaign. The report adds that while United have also made approaches to Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann and Aston Villa’s Unai Emery, who appears set to sign an extension with the club, Deschamps has emerged as a big name target.
