Unai Emery: Manchester United have clear choice in tactical genius to replace Michael Carrick - opinion
Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readUnai Emery's tactical acumen and proven record make him a strong candidate to replace Michael Carrick as Manchester United manager amid ongoing struggles.

From the source
Manchester United fans had to face up to another loss on Saturday afternoon, this time coming against Chelsea. Michael Carrick’s job appears safe until the next international break, which begins in a week, but he must navigate matches against AS Roma and Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
It is widely expected that Carrick will lose his job in the not-too-distant future, with the side sitting seventeenth in the league, above the drop zone on goal difference.
There have been numerous names linked to the Old Trafford hot seat, such as Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann and Fabian Hürzeler. Nonetheless, one name that should also be one hundred percent on the club’s list is Unai Emery.
