The news of the person who will fill the position of the new manager of Manchester United continues to warm up. The Red Devils team immediately appointed a new coach to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who was sacked last weekend.

Manchester United kicked out Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a humiliating defeat to Watford with a score of 1-4, Saturday (20/11/2021). Results that make the management of Man United seem to have lost patience.

Now several names continue to be linked to become the new manager of Te Red Devils. The latest rumor is that the French coach, Laurent Blanc, has reportedly been in communication with the team based at Old Trafford.

The former French national team player entered the market for Manchester United manager candidates, following a row of names that had previously surfaced. Among them are Zinedine Zidane, Brendan Rodgers, to Mauricio Pochettino.

Football Insider claims that Manchester United has not yet established communication with Pochettino as the PSG coach. Instead they are negotiating with Laurent Blanc for a chance to become their manager.

Attractive Candidates
According to the report, Manchester United are very interested in hiring Blanc. Because the manager has a pretty good track record.

As a coach he has won many prestigious trophies. One of them is that he won four Ligue 1 trophies with Bordeaux and also PSG.

In addition, Blanc is a former Manchester United player. So he certainly knows the ins and outs of the Red Devils, and is believed to be able to make MU rise again.

Start Negotiating
Still from the report, MU is not kidding to make Blanc their manager. They are reported to have been in communication with the manager.

They have offered Blanc an opportunity to become the Red Devils tactician. Blanc will reportedly be given a trial contract until the end of the season before being appointed as permanent manager if his performances are good.

So far the negotiation process is still ongoing. Laurent Blanc is reportedly interested in dealing with Cristiano Ronaldo et al.

Blanc is currently not unemployed. He coached the Qatari club, Al-Rayyan. This season, Al Rayyan’s start in the Qatar League has not been good. They were ranked eight of the 12 teams that competed.
