Still looking for Ralf Rangnick’s successor, Manchester United management could look into the case of Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the season. A track directly advised by the legend and former coach of the Red Devils, Sir Alex Ferguson.
Carlo Ancelotti soon back in the Premier League?
The more the weeks pass, the more the future of Ralf Rangnick seems to be written far from the bench of Manchester United. Called for help on November 29 to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the German technician had initially accepted an interim position, which then guaranteed him to join the club’s management. All with the objective of straightening the club.
However, after three months, the Red Devils have not really come back on the sporting level. And then, the atmosphere, already tense after the start of the season, seems to have deteriorated a little residents of Old Trafford.
Ferguson advises Ancelotti MU
So many arguments which should stop Rangnick’s mission at the end of the current financial year. To replace him, the Mancunian leaders also have great ambitions and have already multiplied the avenues of choice with Mauricio Pochettino, the Paris Saint-Germain coach, Erik Ten Hag, author of a fabulous job with Ajax Amsterdam, or even Spain coach Luis Enrique. Attractive targets, but that’s not all! The legend Sir Alex Ferguson interfered in the file, by blowing a new name to the decision-makers of MU: that of Carlo Ancelotti, currently in post at Real Madrid!
According to information from the ESPN media on Thursday, the legendary United coach would have praised internally the merits and benefits of an induction of Mister, who has extensive experience in European football but also in the English championship, after a successful stint at Chelsea (2009-2011) and more recently an Everton adventure (2019-2021). The 62-year-old Italian has the necessary qualities, in Ferguson’s judgment, to bring his favorite team back to the top.
Mister Manchester, Pochettino at Real?
Advised by Ferguson himself, such a track deserves to be taken into consideration. Especially since on paper, the operation looks perfectly feasible. Because he returned to Madrid last summer, the transalpine coach received his first criticism from the White House since the defeat against PSG (0-1) in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, despite a very good work in La Liga with a good lead taken in the standings. Manchester could, therefore, have a shot at playing with Ancelottien at the end of the season.
Because you have to project yourself into a more global vision. Such a scenario could arrange the affairs of the various parties, those of Carlo Ancelotti, of Manchester United, but also of Real Madrid! Because with the departure of the Italian technician, the Merengues would free up space on their sidelines at a lower cost and could finally try to attract Pochettino, who has been targeted for several years and more than ever announced from Paris Saint-Germain.
