Man Utd open talks with talented Italian manager

Manchester United have opened talks with former Brighton & Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi over the head coach role.

The Red Devils recently won the FA Cup against the odds, but there is still speculation that manager Erik ten Hag could be sacked.

The club are conducting a season review this week and reports claim that the Dutchman could be dismissed from the helm pretty soon.

Amidst this, the hierarchy are holding talks with several candidates and they have today sounded out their interest in De Zerbi's signature.

The club have contacted the 44-year-old manager regarding to the potential vacancy. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been impressed by his work.

We should know more about the managerial situation at United in the coming days. De Zerbi could be a front-runner for the job.

Ipswich Town's Kieran McKenna was linked with the club last week, but he is now on the verge of penning a new contract instead.

The 38-year-old is considered as one of the brightest young managers in Europe. It may not be long before he manages a bigger club.
