MU "auctions" coach, Tuchel ready to go 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" fell to 14th place.
Ten Hag: from the peak to the brink
Last season, United finished eighth, their worst finish in Premier League history. However, an emotional FA Cup final victory over arch-rivals Manchester City helped Ten Hag retain the board's confidence. But that wasn't enough to secure his future. Earlier in the summer, United were quietly linked with other candidates, and now, with the club down in 14th place, Ten Hag's future is uncertain.
Who will replace Ten Hag?
The current list of candidates to replace Ten Hag includes prominent names such as Gareth Southgate, Graham Potter, and Massimiliano Allegri. However, former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel is leading the race. According to the Manchester Evening News, Tuchel is considered an attractive option for Man United's owners, especially after he left Bayern Munich at the end of last season after only 15 months in charge.
Tuchel approached Man United early?
According to a club source, Tuchel held discussions with Man United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe earlier this year about becoming manager at Old Trafford. And this time, if the board decide to act, Ten Hag may have to leave to make way for the German strategist.
MU is facing a major turning point as the Premier League season continues. With the team's form not improving, a change in the coaching staff may be inevitable. Will Ten Hag stay or will Tuchel become the new "savior" at the Theatre of Dreams? Only time will tell.
