Manchester United have been urged to make a major move for Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique, with the Spaniard described as the perfect fit to steady what has been called a “rollercoaster” at Old Trafford.
A former United midfielder has called on INEOS to “go all out” for the PSG boss as the club continues to weigh up its long-term managerial plan. The view is that Luis Enrique has the personality, standards and tactical control to handle the pressure that comes with leading United and to drive a clear playing identity.
The backing comes as INEOS, now responsible for United’s football operations, assess options for a permanent manager and look for a coach capable of delivering consistency at the top end of the Premier League and in Europe.
Luis Enrique’s pedigree has been highlighted as a key factor behind the recommendation, given his experience managing at the highest level and dealing with big-name squads and intense expectation. The suggestion is that those qualities would translate well to the demands of the United job, where results and performances have often swung sharply in short periods.
With United’s leadership determined to build a more stable and competitive structure, the argument from the former player is that INEOS should be ambitious and target an elite figure such as Luis Enrique if the opportunity presents itself.
