Another revolution looms for the Red Devils, who are targeting the current Marseille manager. While Olympique Marseille typically suffers from chronic instability, Roberto De Zerbi has proven a welcome exception since his summer 2024 arrival from Brighton. The Italian quickly established a strong bond with the club's hierarchy, Longoria and Benatia, bringing rare continuity. However, his impressive impact has reignited interest from Manchester United.
According to the Daily Mail, De Zerbi is now the top candidate for next season. With Michael Carrick currently serving as interim manager for six months, Old Trafford chiefs seek a permanent figure to lead a comprehensive rebuild. De Zerbi is admired for his tactical identity, charisma, and Premier League experience. United previously monitored him before retaining Erik ten Hag, but they now view him as the credible leader finally capable of succeeding Sir Alex Ferguson's legacy.
