Butt Backs Mourinho for Old Trafford Return
4 Apr
Summary
- Nicky Butt believes Jose Mourinho could manage Manchester United again.
- Mourinho left United in 2018 after a two-year tenure.
- Carrick is currently interim manager, with Butt considering him a potential permanent option.
Nicky Butt, a former Manchester United midfielder, has stated that Jose Mourinho could still effectively manage the club if he were to return for a second spell. Mourinho, who previously managed United for two years before leaving in 2018, is seen by Butt as a winner capable of carrying the team.
Butt indicated that while Mourinho could be an option, the club's current preference for a manager focused solely on coaching, rather than controlling recruitment, might present challenges. He also acknowledged Michael Carrick, who is currently serving as interim manager, as a potential candidate for the permanent position at the end of the season.
United faces a significant decision regarding their next permanent manager as the current season concludes. Carrick's interim tenure has seen him lead the team to third place in the league, making him a strong contender. The club also has difficult upcoming fixtures against Leeds, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
