Premier League giants Manchester United are reportedly considering the appointment of Brighton & Hove Albion manager Fabian Hürzeler.

The young German manager has emerged as an outstanding candidate to replace Michael Carrick at Old Trafford.

Hürzeler’s Brighton & Hove Albion side has been in remarkable form this season and currently sits third in the Premier League table, behind Manchester City and Arsenal.

Brighton are also among the clubs with the most goals in Europe this season, alongside the likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

Carrick has come under intense pressure at Manchester United following the club’s disappointing 4-1 defeat away to Como in the UEFA Champions League.

The former Manchester United midfielder has won only two games this season and currently sits 13th in the Premier League.

The Red Devils are winless in their last seven matches across all competitions.
