Former Liverpool star, Jamie Carragher, has revealed three possible replacements for Jose Mourinho at Manchester United. The former Premier League star listed England boss Gareth Southgate as one of the key contenders.
He also named former United star, Ryan Giggs and Tottenham boss, Mauricio Pochettino.
“There is much to encourage with Gareth Southgate’s work with England, but it has still never been more difficult for an Englishman to get a top-six job,” Liverpool legend Carragher told The Telegraph.
“If Mourinho leaves Manchester United any time soon, will Southgate be a contender to replace him? No.
“Will the Wales job truly be the catalyst for Giggs to go back to Old Trafford?
“United fans will be looking at a coach of Massimiliano Allegri’s calibre, just as Arsenal fans were gazing towards Thomas Tuchel, Julian Nagelsmann and eventually Unai Emery rather than Brendan Rodgers following Arsene Wenger’s departure.”
“Spurs qualified for the Champions League under Harry Redknapp, but it is doubtful the club would go back to British if Mauricio Pochettino moved on.
“Manchester United hoped David Moyes would emulate Sir Alex Ferguson and it did not happen. It is five years since Moyes became the last British coach appointed by one of the Premier League’s Champions League participants.
“How long until the next? Chelsea have not appointed an English manager since Glenn Hoddle in 1993.
“It is 10 years since Manchester City appointed Mark Hughes, and Arsenal fans were scarred by their Bruce Rioch experience.”
