Enzo Maresca emerges as a candidate at United

Among the names considered by the United board, Enzo Maresca stands out strongly, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

The Omar Berrada factor

A decisive element in this potential hiring is the figure of Omar Berrada, the current sporting director of Manchester United. Berrada maintains a close relationship with Maresca, as he was responsible for his arrival at Manchester City in previous stages.

This previous relationship of trust could facilitate negotiations and accelerate the Italian's arrival in Manchester, aiming to replicate the success and football identity that the club so eagerly wishes to recover.
