Fabian Hurzeler standout candidate to replace Michael Carrick if Man Utd decide to sack under fire manager

FABIAN HURZELER is considered the standout Premier League candidate to take over at Manchester United if they change coach. United are standing by Michael Carrick for the time being , despite two wins and four defeats from their nine games this term. A senior source described the prospect of dismissing Carrick last month as “silly” but the 45-year-old is favourite to become the first Premier League manager to be sacked. Hurzeler has led third-placed Brighton to four wins from six games against United since he took over in 2024, and secured successive eighth-placed finishes in the top-flight.
