Luis Enrique wants Manchester United to sign Real Madrid star Rodrygo | OneFootball

Manchester United are weighing up a succession plan after bringing an end to Ruben Amorim’s time at the helm.

Their first priority is to put a caretaker manager in place until the end of the season. It is a two-horse race between Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick for the role.

However, United are also expected to look for a manager with more pedigree to spearhead their rebuild. 

Luis Enrique keen on Manchester United job

Even before Manchester United pulled the trigger on Amorim, the Premier League giants were strongly linked with the likes of Oliver Glasner, Andoni Iraola and Thomas Tuchel.

Now, Luis Enrique has supposedly thrown his hat into the ring.

Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Enrique has “decided to leave” Paris Saint-Germain and is ready for a “new challenge in another league, the Premier League [with] Manchester United.”

The Spaniard, who has also had spells at AS Roma and Barcelona, has won an incredible 18 trophies, including two Champions Leagues.

As such, his alleged availability should pique United’s interest. However, the PSG boss is expected to demand a lot of backing in the transfer market.

Rodrygo is considered one of Europe’s most talented wingers. However, the Brazilian has struggled for a consistent role under Xabi Alonso, leading to question marks over his long term future at Santiago Bernabeu. 

It has been previously reported that Real are open to parting ways with Rodrygo for a fee in the region of €80m.
