Manchester United are reportedly looking to replace Erik ten Hag with a manager who has won the Champions League four times.
Despite the fact that Ten Hag does not appear to be in danger right now, talk is rampant regarding who might replace him once the season is over.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s appointment is considered to usher in a new era for the club, and many believe it may include hiring a new manager.
Gareth Southgate has been linked with the position recently, as this summer’s Euros will likely signal the end of his eight-year tenure as national team manager.
The proposal appears to be divisive among Manchester United fans, with many concerned that Southgate has only had three years as a club manager, in charge of Middlesbrough.
Similarly, the Englishman has never received an award in his management career, which would have to alter rapidly.
That being said, there is great anxiety over Manchester United’s preferred choice this summer, even if he may be impossible to appoint.
Unfortunately, a transfer for Ancelotti is not considered probable because he is now under contract with one of the world’s most prestigious clubs.
As a result, the source went on to say that Brentford’s Thomas Frank could be the realistic manager the club is looking for.
Of course, once Ancelotti’s name is removed, the question becomes whether Southgate or Frank constitute an improvement over Ten Hag.
Yes, the former Ajax manager has underwhelmed, but Old Trafford hasn’t been the best place to prosper either.
Hopefully, things will improve significantly under Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s leadership, and all signals are currently favorable.
However, if Manchester United replaces Erik ten Hag at the end of the season, it should only be for a really unique profile; otherwise, the Dutchman is likely to remain the ideal man to turn things around.
All that being said, Kobbie Mainoo is a reason to be optimistic about the future.
And both Alan Shearer and Gary Lineker have given their honest opinions on his England debut.
