Former Italy defender Marco Materazzi believes Cesc Fabregas would consider a move to Manchester United despite his Arsenal and Chelsea ties, while also backing Michael Carrick to lead the Red Devils to future success. Fabregas is currently the manager of Como and overseen tremendous project with the Italian club.

  • Fabregas open to Premier League giants

    Speaking to Hajper, Materazzi revealed that Fabregas would not dismiss the possibility of taking charge at Manchester United if approached this summer. "If Manchester United asked Cesc Fabregas he would think about it. Chelsea too," he said.

    Despite the Spaniard’s deep-rooted connections with Arsenal and Chelsea, Materazzi stressed that the appeal of the Premier League’s biggest clubs remains undeniable.

    Como project could delay next move

    Materazzi also highlighted the importance of Fabregas’ current project, suggesting a move may not come immediately. "Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United are all very big teams in the Premier League, but Como is a club with a lot of money and I don’t know if Fabregas wants to try and stay one more year to take Como to the Champions League and show what he can do," he explained. "Maybe he can surprise everyone and win the league too with Como?"

  • Carrick backed to deliver success

    Turning his attention to Manchester United under Carrick, Materazzi strongly endorsed the former midfielder's work. "Manchester United have to believe in Carrick because the job he is doing right now is very good," he said.

    He also emphasised Carrick’s connection to the club: "He knows everything about Manchester United. He is a serious man. I like him a lot."

    It was put to Materazzi whether Napoli boss Antonio Conte could become United boss, but he questioned whether a managerial change is necessary for the Red Devils. "Conte is one of the best managers in the world… maybe Conte is the answer? But with Carrick they are already building something bigger so why not stick with Carrick?"
