Many people at Old Trafford are fans of Luis Enrique, and the former Barcelona manager is seen as a viable option for the club from a financial standpoint, according to the report. Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino are still considered the frontrunners, but many people at the club are admirers of Enrique. There appears to be only one obstacle in the way of United's plans, and that is the next World Cup in Qatar, which will begin on November 21st, 2022.

Since 2018, the 51-year-old has been in charge of the Spanish national team on and off, and he is doing an outstanding job of developing the youthful squad under his guidance. Enrique has yet to take charge of the national team in the world's most prestigious football championship, which is clearly a compelling reason for the Spaniard to remain in his current position.

Enrique has made an enormous impression in his short time in the post, leading Spain to the semi-finals of Euro 2020 last summer while playing some of the finest football the tournament had to offer. If they had gone on to win the tournament, they would have been deserving champions. As a result of this, La Roja made it all the way to the Uefa Nations League final in 2021, where they were defeated 2-1 by France.

When it comes to Man United's current situation, the growth of a youthful squad is exactly what the club requires. Many players' development, like Marcus Rashford and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, has stalled in recent seasons under the former administration of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Enrique's most recent managerial position was at Barcelona from 2014 to 2017, during which time the Spaniard directed his team to a historic treble and concluded his stint in Catalunya with two La Liga titles, three Copa del Rey titles, and a Champions League title.

Even though it is a tricky transaction, if Manchester United is successful, this may be a fantastic move for the club, since it checks off many of the boxes. It is certain that the Old Trafford faithful would warmly welcome Enrique's brand of football; his tactical nous can be relied upon; he is excellent at developing young players; and he would command the respect of the older leaders in the dressing room.

The World Cup, on the other hand, looms huge over its likelihood.
