According to recent reports, manager Luis Enrique has already asked Manchester United to sign an attacking star “on the same level as Mbappe” if he joins the club as their next permanent manager.
Luis Enrique wants to join Manchester United
Enrique has been successful enough since leaving Paris Saint-Germain to simply watch the world of football from afar, but he won’t become a manager without at least one more ridiculous idea. And that could benefit Manchester United.
According to recent reports, the Spaniard is keen to leave PSG when his current contract expires in 2027 and is keen to take on the challenge of rebuilding the Red Devils. It seemed like an impossible mission to many, but Enrique seems ready to accomplish what others couldn’t.
Fabrizio Romano: Manchester United bosses hold positive talks with ‘incredible’ manager
The Red Devils are closing in on them.
When it comes to height, there is no doubt that the PSG manager is the favorite to win the job, even if United are forced to do everything in their power to secure the signing a year before his contract ends in France. Meanwhile, when it comes to Man United’s so-called DNA, he should also be at the top of their list.
It’s an interesting question whether Gary Neville shares that opinion.
The former right-back told Sky Sports earlier this week about the managerial role: ”It looks like it’s going to be postponed for another four or five months, but I don’t agree with that. If we can get Carlo Ancelotti or Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season, we will wait for them.
“For a long period of time, over 12 years, football has been really bad. If you look at the appointments made during that time, Jose Mourinho is the only one who meets the club’s standards.”
Although he did not mention Enrique, the 55-year-old certainly fits the same “criteria” and has reportedly already told INEOS to sign one of the world’s best attacking stars.
Enrique tells Manchester United to sign Rodrygo
According to reports in Spain, manager Enrique has told Manchester United to sign Rodrygo if he becomes their new manager in the summer. The Brazilian remains one of the best attackers in the world and has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid for the past six months.
Bringing in Enrique and then Rodrygo would be a sensational move for everyone involved at Old Trafford. In two moves, they will acquire one of the world’s best managers, whom Steven Gerrard has called “special”, and Rodrygo, one of the best forwards European football has to offer.
While some may underestimate Rodrygo, praise from Rivaldo suggests he is not someone to be ignored. A Brazilian legend said: “Rodrigo is on the same level as Mbappé, Bellingham and Vinicius. But he has good reasons to talk about it.”
