Manchester United is in a managerial dilemma as they contemplate the future of Erik ten Hag following their dismal start to the season. The Red Devils, enduring their worst start in 61 years, have suffered consecutive heavy defeats at Old Trafford, first succumbing 3-0 to Manchester City in the Premier League and then a similar scoreline defeat against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup.
The club is reportedly considering alternatives should they decide to part ways with the Dutchman. Former Real Madrid star and coach, Zinedine Zidane, is one of the options under consideration. Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim is also on their radar.
However, the ongoing takeover negotiations by Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS group for a 25% stake in the club, including control over managerial appointments, add complexity to the situation.
Erik ten Hag remains confident in his abilities to turn things around, expressing his belief in United’s potential in a recent statement. The pressure is on Ten Hag and his team to deliver a positive result when they face Fulham in their upcoming Premier League fixture.
Manchester United fans and football enthusiasts will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of this managerial conundrum as the Red Devils aim to get back on track.
