Manchester United are reportedly considering a managerial change, exploring alternatives to current manager Erik ten Hag. Despite winning the FA Cup, Ten Hag’s future remains uncertain due to the club’s underwhelming Premier League and Champions League performances last season.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, owner of Ineos, held discussions with former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel in Monaco, exploring his potential appointment as United’s new manager. However, Tuchel is no longer under consideration, and United have since reached out to three other managers as potential replacements.
Kieran McKenna, a former United coach, removed himself from contention by signing a new contract with Ipswich Town. Meanwhile, United have held talks with Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Frank, and Roberto De Zerbi. Pochettino and De Zerbi are currently without clubs following their departures from Chelsea and Brighton, respectively.
Thomas Frank, under contract with Brentford until 2027, has impressed with his managerial record, attracting interest from several top-flight sides. England manager Gareth Southgate has also been linked with the United job, but his focus remains on England’s Euro 2024 campaign. United are expected to conclude their managerial search this week, with Ratcliffe and Ineos conducting a thorough review of the position.
