Rumour Has It: Manchester United consider Nagelsmann as next manager

As pressure builds on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, there is speculation Manchester United are already looking around for future managers.

According to reports, one such potential candidate is a man making waves in the Bundesliga, now with RB Leipzig.

Even though Solskjaer appears to have the backing of United’s hierarchy, the time might come to look to the future – just like the club’s former manager Jose Mourinho, who has his eye on a comeback.

TOP STORY – UNITED CONSIDER NAGELSMANN

Manchester United are interested in Julian Nagelsmann as a future manager, according to the Daily Mail.

Just 32, Nagelsmann has impressed in the Bundesliga, initially with Hoffenheim and this season at RB Leipzig.

Although Ole Solskjaer still has support at the club despite their worst league start for 30 years, it is reported by the newspaper that United are “gathering information” on Nagelsmann with a view to a future approach to take charge of the first team.
