After an injury plagued season, Manchester United manager Eric ten Hag finds himself in a critical situation.
Manchester: Manchester United clinched their 13th FA Cup title when they defeated arch-rivals Manchester City on Saturday. Despite the title, Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford looks in dismay. With Manchester United’s eighth-place finish in the English Premier League playing a big part in Ten Hag’s future, there have been reports that the Dutchman could be sacked and the management has contacted several managers for a replacement. Let’s look at the potential candidates who could replace the former Ajax manager.
Kieran Mckenna was the first-team (U-23) coach when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was the senior team manager. The 38-year-old recently guided Ipswich Town back to the Premier League after back-to-back promotions. Mckenna was also said to be in the running to replace Mauricio Pochettino but is no longer in contention for The Blues job. He has also strong interest from Brighton as they are also looking for a candidate to replace Robert De Zerbi.
The 50-year old Danish coach has done an impressive job at Brentford in the past six years within a tight budget. Frank is also linked with Chelsea. Reports suggest that the Red Devils management has contacted Frank’s camp to weight up a move.
He is one of the main candidates tipped to replace the Dutchman. The former Chelsea boss does not have a good record in his last two jobs but got Chelsea going at the end of the season. He was also linked to this job before Ten Hag’s arrival.
