Erik Ten Hag has struggled to achieve unanimous support since his arrival at Manchester United in July 2022. After an encouraging first season, concluded with a 3rd place in the Premier League and a victory in the League Cup, the Dutchman had a 2023- 24 more difficult, finished in 8th place. The only ray of sunshine, an FA Cup won against Manchester City (2-1), a trophy which undoubtedly allowed the 54-year-old manager to keep his job despite an increasingly fragile situation.
But since the start of the 2024-25 season, the Batavian seems to have exhausted the little credit he had left with the management of the Red Devils. The record in the league is, in fact, very disappointing, with only 7 points in 6 days, 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 defeats, including two bitter losses at Old Trafford against Liverpool (0-3) and Tottenham (0-3). ).
Two avenues studied
And according to The Daily Starthe leaders of MU have already considered two potential successors: Simone Inzaghi, the coach of Inter Milan who recently extended his contract until June 2025, and Gareth Southgate, free since he left his position as coach from England last July.
However, nothing has been decided yet. The British daily specifies that Sir Jim Ratcliffe, owner of the club, will provide an update on the situation of the Mancunian club during the next international break.
