Deschamps on Man Utd's list to replace Carrick, reports say
Metro reports Deschamps would rather wait until next year for his next job, while Mirror says he has already told United he has no interest in the post.
Didier Deschamps has reportedly been sounded out by Manchester United as a possible replacement for Michael Carrick, according to Metro, which cites FootMercato. The Old Trafford club is said to have made an approach to discuss a potential move for the former France boss.
Carrick's position is under serious threat, with United winning just one of their last ten games. United looked set for a fourth straight defeat on Tuesday before Matheus Cunha scored a late second-half double to complete a 3-2 comeback against Roma in the Champions League, after going 2-0 down.
What Deschamps thinks
Metro says the 58-year-old has reservations about the job and is prepared to wait until next year for his next move. Mirror goes further, claiming Deschamps has already told United he has no interest in the role. Both outlets agree United have shown interest, but not on the Frenchman's answer, so for now this should be treated as a rumour.
Other names on the shortlist include Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann, Antonio Conte and Unai Emery. Mirror reports Emery is close to a new deal at Aston Villa, while Howe remains the leading contender if Carrick is sacked during the international break. After the win, Carrick said he has no crystal ball and is already focused on Sunday's game against Aston Villa.
