Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Joachim Low
Erik ten Hag only weeks away as Man United considers fresh options
Manchester United are toying with the idea of hiring Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Joachim Low to replace low performing Eric ten Hag.
Manchester United co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has lined up three managers in mind as Erik ten Hag remains under increasing pressure over poor erformance.
Indeed, Liverpool beat Man Utd 3-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday, leaving Ten Hag facing down the barrel only three games into the 2024/25 season.
The Red Devils kicked the off the campaign with an underwhelming but deserved 1-0 victory at home to Fulham before defeats to Brighton and Arne Slot’s side.
Ten Hag essentially saved himself from the sack by winning the 2024 FA Cup final against rivals Manchester City.
The club’s league campaign was historically bad, finishing eighth with a negative goal difference – their worst ever Premier League finish.
The British billionaire reportedly spoke to Thomas Tuchel and was very keen on appointing then England manager Gareth Southgate, but neither were available and he ended up offering Ten Hag a new contract.
Ten Hag was publicly backed by Red Devils CEO Omar Berrada and sporting director Dan Ashworth in a statement written before the humiliating home defeat to arch-rivals Liverpool, but published after.
Behind the scenes might be a different story, with several Ten Hag sack reports surfacing this week.
It has been reported by the Daily Mail that Tuchel would be Ratcliffe’s number-one choice should he decide to move on from Ten Hag.
Meanwhile, reports from Spain suggest that the former Chelsea head coach is ‘very popular’ at Old Trafford.
