Manchester United have made contact with Didier Deschamps regarding a potential managerial role, according to a report from The Peoples Person. The France national team coach, who led Les Bleus to World Cup glory in 2018 and a Nations League title in 2021, is said to be leaning toward joining another club instead.
Details remain scarce on which club Deschamps favors or the timeline of United's approach. The 56-year-old has managed France since 2012, making him the longest-serving coach in the national team's history. His contract with the French Football Federation runs through the 2026 World Cup.
United's interest comes amid ongoing speculation about the club's managerial situation. The report did not specify whether the contact was for an immediate vacancy or future planning.
