Former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas has reportedly become Manchester United's leading candidate for the managerial position, with INEOS representatives making contact with intermediaries regarding a potential appointment.
The report from The Peoples Person indicates that the club's new ownership structure under INEOS has identified the 37-year-old Spaniard as their preferred choice to lead the team. Fabregas currently manages Como in Italy's Serie B, where he has gained early coaching experience since retiring as a player.
No official approach has been confirmed by either club, and Manchester United have not commented on the speculation surrounding their managerial search.
