A “phenomenal” title-winning supervisor is reportedly favored by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Manchester United, with Erik ten Hag‘s future nonetheless wanting shaky.
Ten Hag nonetheless given time at Man Utd
Ten Hag is now at first of his third season as Pink Devils boss, however regardless of successful two trophies in that point, he’s nonetheless but to totally persuade the overwhelming majority of the Pink Devils’ fanbase.
An EFL Cup and FA Cup apiece is all properly and good, however performances and ends in the Premier League have been nowhere close to adequate too typically, whereas United did not get previous the Champions League group stage final season.
After 5 league matches in 2024/25 so far, the Pink Devils sit eleventh within the desk, successful solely two matches up to now and dropping 3-0 at house to bitter rivals Liverpool earlier within the marketing campaign. For that purpose, Ten Hag finds himself battling to save lots of his job, although one report has said that Ratcliffe and others excessive up on the membership are nonetheless keen to provide him time to show himself.
That hasn’t stopped different managers from being linked with the job, nevertheless, with former Juventus boss Max Allegri linked with taking cost at Previous Trafford if the present supervisor is relieved of his duties quickly. Now, one other title has been thrown into the combo.
Man Utd like “phenomenal” title-winning supervisor
In response to InterLive [via Sport Witness], Simone Inzaghi has emerged as a possible Ten Hag substitute at Manchester United, with the Pink Devils admiring the Italian.
The report says that they “do not have an excessive amount of confidence” of their present chief, including that “at this level his farewell to Previous Trafford appears virtually apparent”, with the Inter Milan supervisor standing out as a candidate to be his successor.
Inzaghi’s credentials are clear, with the 48-year-old doing an outstanding job accountable for Inter, together with successful the Serie A title final season and clinching Italian Cup glory 3 times in his managerial profession – as soon as with Lazio.
He likes to undertake a 3-5-2 formation, which will be an ungainly system to return up in opposition to due to the efficient use of wing-backs, whereas Felipe Caicedo has waxed lyrical over him up to now, saying he’s the perfect supervisor he has performed beneath:
“Inter are an unplayable group, come on. They’re very sturdy and know what they need. The squad has been collectively for years. Inzaghi is an exceptional coach. I’ve by no means had a greater supervisor, although I had prime coaches like Eriksson and Hughes.”
For now, it does seem as if Ten Hag is secure in his job, however there’s a nagging feeling that he is not the best man to take United ahead, with one step ahead typically seemingly main to 2 within the unsuitable route.
In Inzaghi, the Pink Devils have a confirmed winner on the peak of his powers as an choice, so if Ratcliffe does not see sufficient enhancements within the coming weeks, he might think about making a transfer for him.
