Manchester United is going through another sporting crisis that casts doubt on Erik ten Hag’s future as the team's manager. The defeat against Tottenham at Old Trafford has been the final straw, intensifying the pressure on the Dutch coach.

According to reports from Sky Sports and The Athletic, the INEOS board, the club's owner, is beginning to grow impatient with the team's results. Poor performances in the Premier League and Europa League have caused unrest among the board, who see that Ten Hag's project has yet to take off.

Names rumored to replace Ten Hag

In light of this situation, several British media outlets have begun to speculate about possible replacements for Ten Hag on the Manchester United bench. Among the strongest contenders are:

  • Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: The Norwegian knows the club well and could be a short-term solution.
  • Graham Potter: The former Chelsea coach is considered a long-term option and could also succeed Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
  • Massimiliano Allegri: The Italian is available after leaving Juventus and has extensive experience in European football.
  • Edin Terzic: The German, who took Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final, is also being considered as a possible candidate.
  • Thomas Tuchel: The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager was one of the favorites before INEOS took over, but he is currently seeking a sabbatical year.

Ten Hag defends his work

Despite the rumors, Erik ten Hag has expressed confidence in his continuity. The Dutch coach has stated that both he and the players are committed to the project and believe they can turn the situation around. “I’m not thinking about being sacked, not at all. We have all decided to stay together,” Ten Hag said after the defeat against Tottenham.

The future of Erik ten Hag at Manchester United is uncertain. The upcoming matches will be crucial in determining whether the Dutch coach maintains the confidence of the board and the fans.
