Manchester United are reportedly considering Brighton head coach Fabian Hürzeler and former Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann as potential candidates for the club’s managerial position. According to Sky Sport Germany, both names feature on United’s list as the club assesses its options for the future.

Hürzeler, who has impressed during his time at Brighton, is focused on completing the current season with the Seagulls. His main ambition is to help the club qualify for the Champions League for the first time in its history. The German coach is under contract with Brighton until 2029, making any immediate move difficult.

Brighton have made an encouraging start to the Premier League campaign, collecting 16 points from their first seven matches to sit third in the table. The team is also competing for silverware in the Conference League, further strengthening Hürzeler’s reputation as one of the most highly regarded young coaches in European football.

Nagelsmann is another name under consideration by Manchester United. The former Germany head coach has experience at Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim, and is currently available following his departure from the national team. While Hürzeler’s priority remains Brighton, his longer-term future could be reassessed next summer, as interest from leading clubs continues to grow.
