Manchester United’s recent struggles have raised questions about the future of manager Erik ten Hag. With the team’s Champions League aspirations dwindling and a narrow escape from a shock FA Cup defeat, pressure is mounting on the Dutchman.
Among the potential candidates linked to the United job are Thomas Tuchel, Zinedine Zidane, and Gareth Southgate. Tuchel, currently at Bayern Munich, has expressed his commitment to the German club until the end of the season, while Zidane has been out of work since leaving Real Madrid in May 2021. Southgate, the England manager, has publicly stated his focus on the upcoming European Championships but has not ruled out a potential move to Old Trafford.
United’s pursuit of a new manager will depend on Ten Hag’s performance in the remaining matches of the season. A strong finish could strengthen his position, while further disappointing results could hasten his departure. With several high-profile managers potentially available, United will have a significant decision to make regarding the future direction of the club.
