Manchester United’s management is reportedly evaluating potential replacements for Erik ten Hag, with concerns raised about his suitability for the role. Despite leading the team to several cup finals, ten Hag’s future is in jeopardy following a disappointing performance against Coventry in the FA Cup semi-final.
United’s new technical director, Jason Wilcox, has been tasked with assessing ten Hag’s performance and identifying possible replacements. However, the club acknowledges the challenge of finding an outstanding candidate.
Several managers have emerged as potential targets, including Gareth Southgate, Graham Potter, Thomas Tuchel, Ruben Amorim, Thiago Motta, and Roberto De Zerbi. Southgate and Potter have been linked with United in the past, but their credibility and experience are questioned. Tuchel, a proven winner, raises concerns about his abrasive personality.
United is also impressed with the work of Amorim, Motta, and De Zerbi, who have achieved success with Bologna and Girona. However, doubts remain about their ability to cope with the intense pressure of managing a club of United’s stature.
As United undergoes a significant overhaul of its football operations, technical director Wilcox, alongside Omar Berrada and Dan Ashworth, will play a crucial role in identifying and appointing a manager who can lead the club back to its former glory.
