Revealing the names of the 5 most likely managers waiting to replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United

Erik ten Hag’s situation at Manchester United is not looking good at the moment. After the team lost 3-0 at home to Tottenham Hotspur in the on Sunday night.

The sack was heard around the world, with the majority of Red Devils fans making. It clear that they no longer wanted the Dutch coach to be in charge of the สมัคร ufabet team, with news of a new manager being floated around the same time, with several names of interest.

Here are five managers who could replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United

1. Gareth Southgate

Having led England to two consecutive Euro Cup finals and reaching the World Cup quarter-finals, Gareth Southgate has become a firm favourite with the Eneos.

In particular, Sir Jim Ratchcliffe is said to be a big fan of the former Three Lions boss. He has set his sights on the new manager coming to Old Trafford being a native of the UK or a genuine Englishman. Therefore, he is inevitably the “top pick” on this list.

Although many argue that Southgate’s overly conservative style of play is not suitable for United. At this time fans probably have no choice. But to not concede goals and collect as many points as possible in the remaining time to return to play in the UEFA Champions League.

2. Graham Potter

This is another English manager who fits Sir Jim Ratchcliffe’s specifications. Although he failed to manage Chelsea, the credit he did with Brighton is still talked about to this day.

Potter may not be a renowned manager, but his focus is on working with footballers and getting the structure right. Which can take some time. But from what I’ve seen with The Seagulls. The team has improved significantly, making the job easier for his successor, Roberto De Zerbi.

Just think about how much better a player like Potter could be if he were to join the quality team of Eneos. However, his tainted history with managing a big-spending team like Chelsea has also left him feeling disoriented. It depends on whether the board is ready to take the risk.

3. Xavi Hernandez

His performance with Barcelona is already evident. He was able to lead the team to win La Liga 1 time, but he had to part ways with the club because he spoke about internal problems in public. Which made the club president very unhappy.

Xavi’s football is as beautiful as the one he played for Barca, with great creativity, pressing and foot-to-foot passing, and a much clearer ball control than Erik ten Hag.

However, it has been noted that with the current potential of the players. How much of the tactics of the Spanish coach can the United team absorb? But if Eneos wants someone who has a clear and direct approach to football, one of them must be this former boss.

4. Thomas Tuchel

Thomas Tuchel was previously considered the front-runner to take over at Old Trafford last summer, with the forward also expressing interest, before Eneos decided to keep Erik ten Hag. As the new manager following their surprise FA Cup triumph.

But from the latest situation, it seems that the former Chelsea and Bayern Munich coach will have a chance again. If compared to the other 3 mentioned above. Tuchel is considered to have the best profile, whether it is the Bundesliga champion. The Ligue 1 champion and the UEFA Champions League champion with the Blues.

A tough, aggressive, high-pressing style of play could help United get back on track. As the German is known for being one of the few coaches who rarely concedes goals. However, there is one small caveat that he has had problems with the boards of directors of every club he has worked for.

5. Ruud van Nistelrooy

It is no coincidence that last summer Ruud van Nistelrooy was brought in to be Erik ten Hag’s right-hand man. While the old coaching staff were almost entirely sacked.

It is said that this is the new manager of Manchester United that Eneos has prepared in case the current Dutch boss fails. Now, what the club’s board has in mind has happened. It is only a matter of what they will decide.

Ruud is an interesting option in terms of freshness and, having been the number one striker for the Red Devils under Sir Alex Ferguson. He understands the spirit and DNA of the Red Devils and is ready to inspire the team’s spirit on a difficult day.

But his level and skill are still questionable because he has only had one serious coaching experience with PSV for one season. Even Ten Hag, who led Ajax to three league titles, could barely survive. Even Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho, who are both at the level, could not handle him. So, can Ruud really be the savior?
