The 2026-27 season has seen Manchester United achieve a disappointing return of five points from their opening five matches. This challenging start has placed significant pressure on manager Michael Carrick.
While there is internal belief that Carrick can navigate the team through this difficult period, speculation about potential successors continues to emerge. Ambitious coaches reportedly see the Old Trafford role as a desirable opportunity.
Hull City manager Sergej Jakirović has previously indicated his interest in managing Manchester United. He has since clarified his remarks, stating his current commitment to Hull City and his gradual coaching development plan.
Jakirović has guided Hull from the brink of Championship relegation to Premier League promotion and has made a strong start to the current season with his team. His success has led to consideration for the Manchester United position should Carrick falter.
