Manchester United are considering several high-profile candidates to replace Michael Carrick as permanent manager, with Eddie Howe, Mauricio Pochettino, and Unai Emery all linked to the Old Trafford hot seat, according to a BBC Sport report published on November 10, 2026.
The report by BBC journalist Paul Birch outlines the club's potential managerial options as they seek a long-term successor. Howe currently manages Newcastle United, Pochettino is without a club after leaving Chelsea, and Emery is in charge at Aston Villa.
Carrick has been in interim charge since the departure of Erik ten Hag, but the club is reportedly exploring external appointments for the permanent role.
