Didier Deschamps at Manchester United, a hypothesis which continues to be talked about. In recent days, the former coach of the France team has seen his name circulated around Old Trafford, after being the subject of rumors of a potential arrival at Real Madrid to replace José Mourinho.

According to information from the Daily Mail, the Red Devils have sounded out “DD” to succeed Michael Carrick. A proposal that the 98 world champion, however, would have declined, preferring to extend his break after fourteen years at the head of the Blues. The current instability of the Mancunian club would also have weighed on his thinking.

However, this destination would not be without interest, according to Karim Bennani. The latter defended the relevance of such a perspective and assured that Deschamps was ready to return to service. “He is ready, and he wants to take over (a club). He attaches great importance to the history of a club. It doesn’t matter if Manchester United are very far away, what will make the difference is whether they will have the means to build their team. explained the journalist on the L’Équipe channel.

“It’s a fantastic challenge”

Karim Bennani also insisted on the prestige of the Mancunian institution and the scale of the work that would await a possible successor to Carrick. “Manchester United, he knows he’s a big one. Alex Ferguson has been there. The big challenge is to restore United’s image, that’s exceptional. It’s a formidable challenge”he estimated.

It now remains to be seen whether Didier Deschamps will change his mind about United or whether he will prefer to wait for another project to come to him. In the meantime, the Bayonnais is enjoying his family and loved ones far from the pressure of the pitch.
