Carlo Ancelotti

This is perhaps the most realistic. Carlo Ancelotti is one of the best managers in the world. And perhaps most importantly, he is out of a job.

The ex-Bayern and Madrid man is a brilliant tactician. He brings it all and then some. Manchester United wouldn’t miss a step with the Italian in charge.

He is fond of the club as well, as he admitted while speaking with The Indpendent in 2015.

“Of course, for every manager, they would all think of managing Manchester United.”

It makes sense. Should Mourinho be on his way out, Ancelotti could be the most available manager to fill the void.

Of course the fans would plead for Giggs, but he may not be ready until he gains more experience. Perhaps Ancelotti could hold down the fort until Giggsy was ready.
