Manchester United are keeping a close eye on the situation with Erik ten Hag, given the club’s underwhelming start to the season. After back-to-back losses to Brighton and Liverpool, there’s increased speculation about his future. The club’s decision to back him in the summer, despite some concerns, shows they were committed to giving him time to turn things around. However, with the team currently in 14th place, there’s pressure mounting.
The Mirror’s report suggests that Thomas Tuchel is a top candidate should United decide to make a change. Tuchel’s proven track record, including winning the Champions League with Chelsea, makes him a compelling option. Meanwhile, there’s also speculation about Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has joined Ten Hag’s staff, potentially being in line for a managerial role if things don’t improve.
It’s clear that Manchester United’s senior officials are preparing for various scenarios, indicating they’re serious about making a change if necessary. The next few matches could be crucial in determining Ten Hag’s future at the club.
