Manchester United are looking to have a new coaching team in place before the Manchester derby on January 17. Darren Fletcher’s temporary role has paused active talks with candidates. Jason Wilcox is leading the search for a successor, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick as primary targets. United are prioritizing the FA Cup as their only realistic chance of silverware and a route into European football next season. The decision on when to bring in the new coaching team will be influenced by the team’s performance against Burnley. United are also considering delaying a permanent coaching appointment until the summer to avoid a large compensation bill.
