With Ruben Amorim out the door at Old Trafford, the hierarchy at the club will have begun their search for a replacement. However, with many options available, United has a question to answer. Will they go with someone proven or instead take another risk as they did with Amorim?
After being one of the most successful England National team managers in decades, Southgate now finds himself out of a job.
Southgate left the England dugout after the 2024 Euros campaign, where his side lost to Spain in the final.
He has only had one club job in his managerial career. Being the Manager of Middlesbrough from 2006 to 2009. Southgate was actually relegated to the second division whilst at Middlesbrough.
This means that despite his success at revamping the England National Team, he still has much to prove in club football. It is unclear if Southgate even wants the United job, but as he is out of work, the Old Trafford top dog may be very alluring to the English Manager.
Could Maresca find himself back managing in the Premier League for a top club so soon? Only leaving his post at Chelsea earlier in the month. The Italian is already being linked with a move to the Red Devils.
He was able to win a Club World Cup whilst with the Blues. His career at Chelsea as a whole must be looked at positively. Leading them to Champions League football last season.
Now with Maresca out the door at Stamford Bridge, he may be hoping for an immediate jump back in with Manchester United. He will be a sought-after manager following his time in London, and the Devils may want to convince him quickly to secure his signature.
Glasner is one of the most highly regarded growing managers in European football at this time. Being the tactician behind Crystal Palace's first-ever major trophy. The Austrian may be looking to take the next step in his career to become Manchester United manager.
Preestablished Premier League success with Palace is a vital reason why he is a favourite to take over at Old Trafford. Despite inconsistent form, there is no doubt that he revitalised the club after the departure of fan favourite Roy Hodgson. Bayern Munich were even interested in taking Glasner at the start of his tenure, but Palace refused.
Palace may be the biggest obstacle to this move as they could want huge compensation for their Manager.
These are just some of the Managers that United may choose to hire to lead them into this new era. With Amorim out in what will be considered as one of the worst stints as a Manchester United Manager it is now down to the board to get the next choice correct. If they don't, they risk slipping further down the table, and this could have massive consequences for the club.
