Fabrizio Romano has reported that Manchester United have no plans whatsoever to appoint Enzo Maresca as their manager right now.
Maresca and Chelsea parted company on New Year’s Day, with the Italian manager now on the radar of Man Utd, who are on the hunt for a permanent successor to Ruben Amorim following the Portuguese’s departure from Old Trafford on Monday.
Romano said on his YouTube channel: “Despite all the questions I’m getting on Enzo Maresca and Man Utd – he’s been linked in Italy with the potential role at Man Utd [right now] – at the moment, what I’m told is Manchester City are interested in Maresca for the future.
“As I always told you, it’s not something imminent or guaranteed, it’s something for the future if Maresca is available when Pep Guardiola decides to leave. But Pep has not decided anything at this stage.
“So Man City have an interest, and from Man Utd, the message is a different kind of coach for the summer, not a coach for now.
“So this is why the links from Italy with Maresca taking the Man Utd job immediately are something that I’m told is not concrete at all at this stage.
“Man Utd will take their time to start the process and try understand who is the best manager possible for next season.”
