Man United Reportedly Eye Stuttgart Boss Sebastian Hoeness as Carrick Faces Pressure
Manchester United are reportedly considering Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeness as a permanent replacement for Michael Carrick. Carrick’s position is under pressure after United’s poor start to the 2026/27 season, despite a recent Champions League win over Roma ending a nine-game winless run. The club are said to be one point above the Premier League relegation zone. Reports say United decision-makers Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada want a permanent appointment if Carrick is dismissed. Interest in Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has reportedly cooled, with Hoeness now among the candidates being considered. Hoeness helped Stuttgart avoid relegation after taking charge in 2023, then led the club to second place in the 2023/24 Bundesliga and the 2024/25 DFB-Pokal title. His contract runs until June 2028, so United may need to pay compensation to secure him. Carrick is expected to face Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Sunday.
