Didier Deschamps responds to Manchester United approach with Michael Carrick's future uncertain

It is understood that United executives approached the former France boss regarding succeeding Michael Carrick at Old Trafford. Carrick is battling to retain his position after securing just one victory from their opening nine Premier League fixtures. Deschamps was considered to possess the winning pedigree and expertise to tackle the challenge of restoring United to their former glories. His availability as a free agent also made him an attractive proposition for United. However, Deschamps, who guided France to World Cup triumph in 2018, has no appetite to take on the thankless task of managing United, according to The Mirror .
