Manchester United is searching for a new manager for next season following the dismissal of Rúben Amorim. Michael Carrick is serving as interim coach, but the club's leadership must already plan for the future.

Among the candidates, Luis Enrique—double Champions League winner with Barcelona and PSG and former Spain national team coach—seemed like a natural fit. Yet, according to talkSPORT, the Red Devils’ executives are not convinced by his profile.
