Man Utd Hold Talks to Replace Ten Hag
Manchester United have held secret talks with a number of managers over replacing Erik ten Hag as the Dutchman once again fights to save his job at Old Trafford.
Mail Sport revealed earlier this week that United spoke with Xavi Hernandez 10 days ago after a four-man delegation led by chief executive Omar Berrada flew to Barcelona, while Sporting Lisbon boss Ruben Amorim and former Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic are also on the list of potential targets.
It’s understood that Brentford’s Thomas Frank is once again under strong consideration having been linked with the United job in the summer.
The club’s co-owners interviewed many candidates then before deciding to keep Ten Hag and extend his contract by a year. But the fact United have resumed their search for a replacement behind the scenes has cast fresh doubt over the 54-year-old’s future. The club have declined to comment.
United are in the bottom half of the Premier League table going into Sunday’s game at West Ham, and have failed to win any of their first three Europa League ties following Thursday’s draw with Fenerbahce in Istanbul.
