‘Genius’ manager now a ‘surprise’ contender to replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United
Amid all of the speculation regarding Erik ten Hag’s future at Manchester United, one ‘surprise’ contender has now emerged to take over at Old Trafford.
If there was an intention to swiftly move Erik ten Hag on once the season concluded, ꦜthen winni﷽ng the FA Cup in dominant fashion wasn’t necessarily part of the plan.
Of course𒀰, everyone at Man United will have been delighted to lift a second tr🐽ophy in two years, especially during a poor period for the club on the whole.
But parting ways with Ten Hag 🍒has now become a lot harder, a manager who suddenly has a lot more popular suppor൲t.
And with one-year-left on his contract at Old Trafford, theꦫre’s a credible argument for the club to allow the Dutchman another season.
That being said, there are one or two managers potentially available this summer who could be of great interest to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s new er🔯a.
Former United man Kieran McKenna is attracting a lot of attention right now, with Robbie Savage recently rubbishing rema📖rks that he’s not ready.
And according to , McKenna appears on a five-man s✨hortlist, including one ‘surprise’ contend🌄er.
Former Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi could be next Man United boss
Roberto De Zerbi, who is leaving Brighton & Hove Albion by mutual consent this summer, could now be𝓡come United’s new manager should Ten Hag be sacked.
ꦰAccording to the report mentioned, Unitꦺed spoke with De Zerbi’s representatives last week as part of their contingency planning.
The club have also spoken to Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna, Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Bayern Munich’s Thomas Tuchel and former Chelsea boss Maurico Pochettino.
When conducting their end of season review, Manchester United will now need to decide if any of these names would r🅷epresent a suff🍬icient upgrade on their current incumbent.
T🌞en Hag is clearly convinced that he deserves to stay on as manager, but is this FA Cup win j𝔍ust papering over the cracks?
It’s no easy choice for United’s decision-makers, and⛦ all of the candidates mentioned ๊come with their own risks.
De Zerbi for𝄹 example , but was also considered a fractious character when disagreꩵeing with Brighton’s top-brass.
Of course, United m꧂ay feel the need to make a fair🐓ly swift decision too, given Chelsea could end up beating them to their preferred candidate should they head in that direction.
All that being said, Saturday’s FA Cu𒁏p win could actually help Manchester United secure a key signing.
