Manchester United has made contact with Didier Deschamps in recent days to gauge his availability, according to Foot Mercato. The Red Devils’ hierarchy are anticipating a potential departure of Michael Carrick and are multiplying their approaches, with Julian Nagelsmann and Unai Emery also in their sights.

Deschamps, 58, does not appear particularly enthusiastic about the prospect of joining Old Trafford. The club’s difficult sporting context, uncertainties surrounding its management and accumulated underperformance in recent seasons would not constitute the ideal environment he is seeking for his return to a dugout.

After fourteen years leading the France national team, the former manager of Monaco, Juventus and Olympique de Marseille has clearly expressed his desire to return to the daily routine of club football. But he is in no rush: his entourage indicates he could wait until the next off-season before making a decision.

His name circulated this summer in Saudi Arabia, and more recently around Juventus Turin. For now, the coach is enjoying his free time to recharge with his loved ones.
