Carrick successor? Manchester United turned down twice
Two top managers were linked with replacing current United coach Michael Carrick. However, neither has any interest in the Old Trafford job.
Michael Carrick remains under immense pressure as head coach of English giants Manchester United.
The 45-year-old and his team are now winless in eight Premier League matches. In their most recent league game against Aston Villa, a late goal in stoppage time salvaged a point for the "Red Devils" (to the match report>>>). Nevertheless, United slipped to 18th in the table, falling into the relegation zone.
Premier League manager turns down United
United's board has reportedly been looking for a successor to Carrick for weeks, with several top managers linked to the job – including Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler.
The south coast side is currently the surprise package of the season, with the German head coach guiding the "Seagulls" to second place – a full 14 points ahead of Manchester United. According to reports from "Sport Bild", the 33-year-old has turned down the prospect of a move during the ongoing season.
The "Red Devils" have also reportedly been rejected by another rumored candidate, former France head coach Didier Deschamps. According to information from the "Mirror", the 58-year-old has already informed the club that he is not available for the position.
