Nicky Butt wants Benfica star at Man United: CV speaks for itself | OneFootball

Nicky Butt, former Manchester United midfielder and current sports pundit, admitted he would like to see José Mourinho back at Old Trafford, but believes that, given the club’s current circumstances, that would be virtually impossible. The former player recalled Mourinho’s spell at United between 2016 and 2018, when he won the Europa League and the EFL Cup.

On the possible appointment of the Portuguese coach, Butt explained: “I wanted him back. He’s a winner and can carry this football club. The people in power would never allow it, because they now prefer a coach who focuses only on coaching rather than controlling signings,” he added.

The English pundit assessed other scenarios and alternative managers: “I think Tuchel would have been perfect for United. But Michael Carrick is going to finish third with the squad he has, while Liverpool, Aston Villa and Chelsea are also in a difficult situation. No established manager is going to want to come to United”.
