There appears to be a lot of confusion surrounding the Manchester United managerial hot seat at the moment. With the start that the Red Devils have made to the season, many fans would have expected the club to make a change. But that has not been the case and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains in the role, although the Norwegian manager’s future appears to be up in the air.
It is not hard to see why the club might be reluctant to make a change. Solskjaer has been the club’s manager for almost three years now. And in the middle of the season, it will be very difficult to bring in a suitable replacement for him even if the club decided to part ways.
Managers like Brendan Rodgers, Mauricio Pochettino, Erik ten Hag, Zinedine Zidane and others have been linked with the job. But in most cases, they are already managing a different team. Thus, it is very possible that Manchester United might have to wait until the summer before making a change.
And it appears that a new candidate has emerged in the race to become the next Manchester United manager. As reported by Manchester Evening News, club figures have been impressed by Luis Enrique.

Enrique has built quite a reputation for himself over the years. He enjoyed a very successful time as the manager of FC Barcelona. And since then, he has done a wonderful job with the Spanish national team as well.
Thus, if the club were able to bring him in, it would be considered as a major coup on the part of Manchester United.
But like so many others who have been linked with the Red Devils in recent times, Enrique is also already in a management job right now, with the Spain national team. Thus, it might prove to be very difficult to bring him to Manchester United.
