MU "auctions off" manager, Tuchel ready to move to Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag, despite helping MU win the FA Cup against Manchester City, is now facing the risk of losing his job as the "Red Devils" have dropped to 14th place.
Ten Hag: From the summit to the abyss
Last season, MU finished in eighth place, their worst performance in Premier League history. However, an emotional victory in the FA Cup final against arch-rivals Manchester City helped Ten Hag retain the trust of the board. But that wasn't enough to guarantee his future. Earlier in the summer, Man United quietly contacted other candidates, and now, with the team languishing in 14th place, Ten Hag's future is once again uncertain.
Who will replace Ten Hag?
The list of potential replacements for Ten Hag currently includes prominent names such as Gareth Southgate, Graham Potter, and Massimiliano Allegri. However, Thomas Tuchel, the former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager, is leading the race. According to the Manchester Evening News, Tuchel is considered an attractive option for Manchester United's owners, especially after he left Bayern Munich at the end of last season after just 15 months in charge.
Did Tuchel approach Man United early on?
According to an internal club source, Tuchel had discussions with Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe earlier this year about the possibility of becoming manager at Old Trafford. And this time, if the board decides to act, Ten Hag may have to leave to make way for the German strategist.
Manchester United are facing a major turning point as the Premier League season continues. With the team's form failing to improve, a change on the coaching bench may be inevitable. Will Ten Hag remain, or will Tuchel become the new "savior" at the Theatre of Dreams? Only time will tell.
