Manchester United Linked With Former Chelsea Boss Following Managerial Departure

Manchester United have once again found themselves in the familiar position of seeking a new manager after parting ways with Ruben Amorim.

As is often the case in football, speculation over potential replacements began almost immediately, with a former Chelsea boss now being linked with the role at Old Trafford.

The timing, though predictable, reflects the high-pressure environment at the Premier League’s biggest clubs, where managerial changes often spark rapid rumours and media attention. Following Amorim’s departure, the conversation around possible successors has intensified, with several candidates emerging in reports. Among these is Enzo Maresca, who recently left his position at Chelsea and is now being considered by United. His previous connections within the game, including strong professional ties with Wilcox and Berrada, have drawn attention from pundits and insiders alike.

Alex Crook of talkSPORT highlighted the situation on X, noting that while Manchester United may consider using Fletcher as an interim manager for the remainder of the season, the search for a permanent solution remains “fluid.” Crook also mentioned other potential options, including Premier League-experienced managers Glasner and Iraola, as well as McKenna, who was reportedly a contender even before Amorim’s appointment.

Meanwhile, Chelsea continue their own managerial transition, reportedly targeting Liam Rosenior from Strasbourg as they plan for the next stage of their project. The rapid developments at both clubs illustrate the interconnected nature of managerial movements in top-flight football and the constant speculation that follows every high-profile departure.
