A manager who Sir Jim Ratcliffe is apparently desperate to have at Manchester United is now keen to replace Ten Hag.

There are huge doubts over the Dutchman’s future at Old Trafford after a truly miserable campaign, which saw Manchester United finish bottom of Group A in the UEFA Champions League behind Bayern Munich, Cop🦩enhagen and Galatasaray.

Ian Ladyman of the Daily Mail has even claimed that a decision has already been made, and Erik ten Hag will be sacked.

So, which Sir Jim Ratcliffe favourite is now keen to take over at Manchester United? Let’s take a look…
