Jamie Carragher has revealed his top four candidates to replace Michael Carrick as Manchester United manager, with Thomas Tuchel, Luis Enrique, Julian Nagelsmann, and Eddie Howe all in the running.
According to Carragher, Tuchel is an excellent candidate due to his extensive experience in the Premier League, including a successful stint at Chelsea. He believes that Tuchel's energy and drive would be beneficial for Manchester United, particularly in terms of winning matches on the counter-attack.
Luis Enrique is another manager who has caught Carragher's eye, with the former Barcelona boss boasting an impressive track record of success. However, his time at Paris Saint-Germain was marred by controversy, and Carragher acknowledges that this could be a liability for Manchester United.
Eddie Howe, on the other hand, is seen as a more understated candidate who would bring a sense of calm to the Old Trafford hotseat. While he has struggled with consistency in his current role at Newcastle, Carragher believes that he possesses the qualities required to succeed at Manchester United.
Julian Nagelsmann rounds out the shortlist, with Carragher praising the German's exceptional coaching abilities and ability to adapt his tactics to suit different opponents.
Ultimately, however, Carragher believes that Michael Carrick is not suited to the role of manager due to his limited experience at this level. "I'm crossing him out," he says bluntly. While this may come as a shock to some fans, Carragher's comments highlight the immense pressure that comes with managing Manchester United.
As for other candidates who have been ruled out, Carragher cites Jurgen Klopp, Xabi Alonso, and Zinedine Zidane as having too many personal connections with rival clubs to be considered viable options. Similarly, Roberto Martinez and Mauricio Pochettino are seen as too untested at the top level to take on Manchester United.
Oliver Glasner's defensive-minded approach also earns him a spot on Carragher's "no" list, while Andoni Iraola is deemed too inexperienced for the role. Diego Simeone, meanwhile, is admired by some but ultimately deemed unsuitable due to his defensive coaching style.

. The other candidates seem solid, too - Tuchel's energy would definitely give Manchester United a boost, while Howe's calm demeanor could help steady the team.
Andi Ortega would've been an interesting choice, too - he's got some big-game experience as a player.
anyway, i think howe would bring a nice calmness to the team, maybe thats what they need. and yea, jurgen klopp is definitely out of the running because of his liverpool ties 
but carraghers got a point about michael carrick not being suited for the job...
! Michael Carrick stepping down as Man Utd manager? No worries, mate! I think it's a great opportunity for one of these talented managers to come in and shake things up at Old Trafford 
. Tuchel's energy would be perfect for the job, and let's be real, who wouldn't want to play against him?! 
. But hey, we've all had those moments where things didn't quite go as planned, right? 
Howe's understated approach might be just what Man Utd needs, and Nagelsmann's adaptability skills would make him an asset in the Premier League.
. Maybe that's why they're so good at their current jobs? 
Whatever happens, I'm excited to see who'll be the next boss man! 
but seriously tho tuchel is looking good, can imagine him on the touchline all pumped up 
just hope whoever takes over doesn't get too much baggage from PSG 
eddie howe might be a good choice though he seems like he'd bring that calmness ur talking about 
and thomas tuchel is def on the list i mean he's had so much success in the premier league already 
but man, michael carrick didnt seem cut out for it 
. Can we please just focus on the discussion at hand? I mean, Jamie Carragher's list of potential replacements for Michael Carrick as Manchester United manager is interesting, but it's not exactly breaking news 
. Can't we just stick to the points and move on? 
he seems super experienced and has that winning mentality that u need when u r man utd... but at the same time i feel bad for mike carrick coz hes got a lot of experience in the game now... 
Carrick just doesn't have the experience to lead them properly, you feel? 
I'm all for giving Eddie Howe a chance, though - we've seen him grow at Newcastle and he's got a calm head on his shoulders... but is he ready for the pressure?
