Manchester United have sounded out Didier Deschamps as a potential replacement for Michael Carrick, according to reports in France.

Carrick’s position at Old Trafford is under threat as United have registered just one win in their last 10 games.

United appeared to be on course for a fourth consecutive defeat on Tuesday night but Mateus Cunha’s late double in the second half sealed a 3-2 comeback victory over Roma in the Champions League.

Replacements for Carrick have already been considered with Eddie Howe, Julian Nagelsmann, Antonio Conte and Unai Emery all on United’s shortlist.

FootMercato reports that United have also made an approach for Deschamps to discuss a potential move to Old Trafford.
