When Michael Carrick was tapped in as interim Manchester United manager in mid-January, it was to a rather chilly reception from United legends Roy Keane and Gary Neville. Carrick was a good man, skilled and fit to lead United for the rest of the season, but neither of the two thought this was the coach Manchester United needed for the long run. Now it was no longer possible to bring in newcomers, here it took a Thomas Tuchel, Luis Enrique or Carlo Ancelotti. A month later, it turns out that the entire trio is now making themselves unavailable to Man Utd.
Carlo Ancelotti confirmed on Friday that he has found his dream job after Real Madrid. It is located in Brazil, as the national team coach for Vinicius, Rodrygo and the gang. In May 2025, it was ready to lead the Brazilian national team, after four wins, two draws and two losses, the Brazilian Football Federation and Ancelotti agree that this must continue.

“I think I want to extend my agreement with Brazil by four years. It’s a new job and I’m very impressed with it,” Ancelotti told Movistar. According to The Athletic , his contract until 2030 is ready for signing.
Last week, it was a smiling Thomas Tuchel who signed a contract with the English Football Association until the end of the Euro 2028 finals on home soil. The original contract ran until the last game of the World Cup finals this summer, perfectly timed for Man Utd.
Not anymore. A lot can happen in the World Cup finals with Tuchel’s position as national team coach, but the signal is clear: Managing Manchester United is not a dream job for Thomas Tuchel.
It is widely known that Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazers really love Luis Enrique as a coach, with the Spaniard being one of Man Utd’s main targets. It is claimed that United representatives have already been in Paris for talks with Enrique.
The PSG contract expires after the 2026/27 season, it is rumored that United will try to persuade the Spaniard not to sign a new contract with the Ligue 1 giant. The Daily Mirror claims Enrique will not be persuaded to choose Manchester United anyway, a job that is not perceived as “the right project for him”. When the time comes for him to leave PSG, it is said that he will prefer a second spell as manager at Barca, rather than go to the Premier League and Manchester United.
