Neville revealed that United has begun their search for a new permanent manager, stating that the decision, expected at season's end, won't be influenced by current results

Former Manchester United player, Gary Neville, has recently provided an update on the club's search for a new manager. This comes amidst a period of significant change for the club and should help to clarify some of the speculation currently surrounding this topic.

Manchester United has undergone considerable changes recently. The club parted ways with manager Ruben Amorim and appointed Michael Carrick as caretaker manager until the end of the current campaign. Under Carrick's leadership, Manchester United has managed to establish good form with four wins out of four against their opponents, including notable victories over teams such as Manchester City and Arsenal.

However, given that Carrick is only contracted with the club until season-end, speculation about who could potentially lead Manchester United forward is rife.

Potential candidates for permanent manager position

Amongst those being considered for this key role are Michael Carrick himself - thanks to his impressive start at Old Trafford - and Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel was named by Gary Neville as a possible successor during his recent update.

However, it should be noted that Tuchel is set to lead England in their pursuit of World Cup glory this summer. Therefore any potential appointment would likely not take place until after the conclusion of that tournament.

Update from Gary Neville

Speaking on Sky Sports following Liverpool’s clash with Manchester City, Neville revealed that United have begun their search process for a new permanent manager. However, he also clarified that current results will not influence their decision-making process; instead judgement will likely come towards season-end.

This latest information provides much-needed clarity to supporters who may have been feeling left in dark amidst all speculations around managerial changes at Old Trafford. With this update now available publicly courtesy Gary Neville’s insights on Sky Sports broadcast post Liverpool-Manchester City game; fans can feel more informed about the club's plans. As Manchester United has already begun their pursuit of a new manager, supporters may choose to keep an eye on media reports to see which names emerge in the coming weeks and months.

While there is still uncertainty surrounding who will take over as permanent manager at Manchester United, fans can rest assured that the process is underway and that a decision will be made with careful consideration rather than being influenced by current results.
