Manchester United are said to hold a high regard for VfB Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeneß, according to reports emerging from Germany on Friday. The 42-year-old has impressed during his tenure at the Bundesliga club, guiding Stuttgart to a Champions League qualification spot last season.

Hoeneß, nephew of Bayern Munich legend Uli Hoeneß, has built a reputation for progressive, attack-minded football since taking charge at Stuttgart in April 2023. His side currently sits in the upper half of the Bundesliga table, playing an expansive style that has drawn attention from several top European clubs.

While no formal approach has been reported, United's interest signals their ongoing evaluation of potential managerial candidates should a change become necessary at Old Trafford. Hoeneß's contract with Stuttgart runs until 2027, meaning any move would require significant negotiation.
