A coach with great influence
If we talk about Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz, many of you will not hear the name. However, he is one of the main people responsible for Girona having the opportunity to compete in European competitions next year. Indeed, we are talking about Míchel, one of the most prominent coaches in Europe. With their victory (4-1) against Cadiz on the last day of LaLiga EA Sports, the Catalan team has mathematically ensured their presence in European competition for the next season. It is still to be determined in which competition he will participate, but in Montilivi they dream of the Champions League.
Manchester United’s interest
As reported by the English medium The Telegraph, Manchester United is closely monitoring Míchel’s situation at Girona with the aim of making him the replacement for Erik Ten Hag next season. Jim Ratcliffe, the club’s new owner, believes that the Dutch coach’s project has come to an end, as he has had enough time to achieve positive results and has failed to do so. For this reason, the English club is studying the possibility of bringing Míchel to Old Trafford.
A change of course for Manchester United
From the sports management of Manchester United they want to change the direction of the team, which has not managed to find the desired success and return to compete at European level. With the game that Míchel has shown at Girona and his ability to get the best performance out of his players, it is not surprising that the English club wants to build a project around this Madrid coach. Míchel’s reputation has risen thanks to his excellent work and Manchester United’s interest is proof of that.
Other options for Manchester United
However, Jim Ratcliffe will not put all his eggs in one basket and has other names in mind in case Míchel decides to stay at Girona, which would be the logical option after achieving European qualification. Some of the names in the mix include Gareth Southgate, current England manager, Graham Potter, who is available after being sacked by Chelsea, Roberto De Zerbi, currently at Brighton, Thiago Motta of Bologna and Thomas Tuchel of Bayern Munich.
