Manchester United will be in the market for a permanent manager at the end of the season, whether that be Michael Carrick or another candidate, and according to Miguel Delaney, the Red Devils could make a 'serious' push to bring Luis Enrique to Old Trafford.
After a strong start to his United tenure, Carrick has likely thrown his hat into the ring to become their permanent manager heading into the 2026/2027 season.
The Manchester club will have other candidates, but their form under Carrick is allowing them to take their time with a decision, knowing they are in safe hands for the remainder of the campaign.
United are pushing to qualify for the Champions League, and now have a strong chance of doing so.
Man Utd Could Make 'Serious' Manager Move

According to journalist Delaney, Manchester United are willing to make a serious push to bring PSG manager Enrique to Old Trafford this summer.
Delaney claims that there is growing speculation that Enrique could leave the Ligue 1 giants at the end of the season, and he does have a desire to work in the Premier League one day.
"Manchester United insiders say that Luis Enrique is the name increasingly being mentioned, with the club reportedly willing to make a serious push to secure him. You might wonder why he would leave PSG now, but there is growing speculation that he will depart in the summer, and he has long expressed a desire to work in the Premier League."
Whether a move to United would be of interest to Enrique remains to be seen, but qualifying for the Champions League might help their case.
Enrique a Carrick Upgrade

If United can convince Enrique to make the move to Old Trafford, it would be a phenomenal appointment for the Manchester club.
The Spanish manager would be a huge upgrade on Carrick, despite what the United interim coach has done in his tenure so far.
Enrique has a huge amount of experience at the highest level, and he could be the manager United need to start competing for Premier League titles once again.
The 55-year-old, described as the 'best manager in the world', is yet to manage in England's top flight, but that shouldn't deter United from making a move at the end of the season.
Would Enrique Suit Man Utd?

GIVEMESPORT asked ChatGPT whether Enrique would suit United's current squad.
Luis Enrique demands high-tempo positional play and relentless pressing, which would require significant tactical re-education across Manchester United’s squad.
Technically strong defenders and press-resistant midfielders are essential; United possess partial profiles but lack consistent build-up reliability under pressure.
Enrique’s wingers must attack inside channels and combine quickly — compatible with United’s inverted wide options.
Striker role prioritises mobility and link play over pure penalty-box presence, potentially altering attacking balance.
Cultural shift toward strict tactical automatisms may cause early adaptation friction but raises long-term ceiling.
