And one more failure… Manchester United fans no longer count them. The Red Devils finished in last place in Champions League Group A after losing to Bayern on Tuesday night, finishing behind the Bavarians, but also FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray, seemingly inferior teams. In the championship, things aren’t really going any better, with this sixth place, also far from its usual standards…
Suffice to say that Erik ten Hag’s hours on the bench at Old Trafford could well be numbered. Everything indicates that he could quickly be dismissed from his functions… And according to information from the Spanish newspaper Relevothere is already a candidate who acts as a favorite to take the Dutchman’s place: Julen Lopetegui.
He is very tempted
The Spanish coach is even very well placed to take charge of the Red Devils once the dismissal of ETH is effective. He is currently without a contract following his departure from Wolverhampton at the start of the season, and recently turned down attractive offers in Saudi Arabia. Mainly because he wants to stay in England, as indicated by the Iberian media. The idea of ​​joining Manchester United is particularly attractive for the former Spain coach and coach of Real Madrid and Sevilla.
For their part, the leaders of Manchester United appreciate his profile, his methods and what he has done for Wolverhampton. He is ahead of other candidates like Graham Potter, Zinedine Zidane or Roberto De Zerbi. They also know that he gets along well with several players in the squad that he was able to work with during his previous experiences, such as Sergio Reguilon, Casemiro and Raphaël Varane. To be continued…
