Despite recent poor results, Manchester United will not be sacking under-fire manager Erik Ten Hag
Manchester United's season has been marred by disappointing results and uncertain performances. With the team struggling to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League, questions have arisen about the future of manager Erik ten Hag.
However, despite growing pressure, Ten Hag's position at the club remains secure for the time being.
Jim Ratcliffe confident in Ten Hag
New investors Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his company Ineos are reportedly planning for the next season with Ten Hag still in charge.
Despite reservations from some insiders, the investors are not yet convinced of replacing Ten Hag, considering the limited options available.
Manchester United struggle to find Ten Hag alternative
While Ratcliffe and his team have compiled a list of potential replacements, many top contenders are hesitant about taking over at Old Trafford given the challenging circumstances. National team bosses like Gareth Southgate and Julian Nagelsmann are reportedly focused on their current projects and may not be eager to transition to Manchester United.
Zinedine Zidane's move to England, particularly to Manchester United, seems unlikely. Similarly, other candidates like Roberto De Zerbi and Ruben Amorim are linked with other clubs or national teams. This leaves Graham Potter and Thomas Frank as potential candidates, although their interest in the position remains uncertain.
Structural changes at Manchester United
Manchester United's priority lies in implementing structural changes within the club rather than rushing to replace the manager. Negotiations are ongoing for key directorial positions with Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox. The club aims to finalize these appointments before making any decisions regarding the managerial position.
Any decision regarding Ten Hag's future is likely to occur after negotiations with Newcastle over compensation for Dan Ashworth. The new chief executive, Omar Berrada, will also play a significant role in the decision-making process. Overall, there is no immediate panic at Ineos, as the club focuses on long-term strategies rather than short-term managerial changes.
