Manchester United are being linked with a move for the Borussia Dortmund manager Niko Kovac.
The Croatian manager has had a mixed spell at the German club, and a report from Fichajes claims he is on Manchester United’s shortlist. The Premier League side is considering multiple options, and it will be interesting to see whether they decide to make a move for him.
Michael Carrick is currently the club’s interim manager and is likely to be shown the door at the end of the season. Manchester United are looking for a more long-term appointment, and Kovac could be an interesting option for them. Even though he has not managed to convince at Dortmund, he has managed big clubs like Bayern Munich in the past.
His experience could prove useful to Manchester United as they look to rebuild the team. They have not won major trophies for a long time, and they need to build a formidable team capable of regularly competing at the highest level.

The opportunity to move to Manchester United could be exciting for the Croatia manager. It would be a step up for him. They have the resources to sign quality players and a talented squad as well. Kovac will hope to fight for trophies with them. However, Manchester United fans might see the appointment as a bit of a gamble, given his exploits at Dortmund.
They will hope for an elite manager who has won major trophies regularly. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds. Kovac has a 51% win rate in his career, and that will hardly excite the Manchester United faithful.
