Manchester United news: 2 managers keen on Ruben Amorim replacement job ...Middle East

Two managers, announced as possible successors to Ruben Amorim, would be willing to manage Manchester United.

After a difficult season, Manchester United are getting off to a bad start in this new campaign. The Red Devils, who are not playing in European competition, have already been eliminated in the first round of the EFL Cup against an English fourth-tier side and are struggling in the Premier League.

Indeed, the English side are, for the moment, 14th with a record of 3 defeats, one draw and 2 victories. Thus, growing uncertainty reigns over the future of Ruben Amorim on the bench. The Portuguese manager is not immediately in danger, but will quickly have to steady the ship if he wishes to keep his position.

In any case, a shortlist has reportedly already been drawn up by Manchester United for the succession of the former Sporting Portugal manager. It includes Andoni Iraola, who is currently in post at Bournemouth, Oliver Glasner, who manages Crystal Palace, and Gareth Southgate, who is available.

It should be noted that the names of Zinedine Zidane, Fabian Hurzeler and Xavi Hernandez have also been mentioned. Precisely, among all these names, two would already be willing to succeed Ruben Amorim on the Red Devils bench. According to information from Fabrizio Romano, Xavi would directly accept the position if it were offered to him.

The former FC Barcelona manager, who refused the bench of Bayer Leverkusen at the start of September, would like to return to service as soon as possible. He feels ready. However, the former midfielder, who therefore has the advantage of being available, does not really feature on the Red Devils' priority shortlist.

Glasner willing to manage Manchester United

Unlike Oliver Glasner. The Austrian manager would also accept the Manchester United manager position if it were offered to him, according to Ben Jacobs. He has been producing good performances with Crystal Palace for several months. He notably won the FA Cup with the Eagles, who are currently 3rd in the Premier League.

However, to recruit him, the Red Devils will have to wait until the end of the season for his contract with Crystal Palace to expire or they will have to pay compensation to the Premier League club to sign him during this campaign. This matter will be one to follow closely and will therefore depend on the future of Ruben Amorim.
