Manchester United Linked With Shock Replacement for Erik ten Hag
Manchester United could be set to raid Fulham for their manager Marco Silva if they decide to axe Erik ten Hag. The 47-year-old has been in charge of the Cottagers since 2021 and has a impressive 46% win rate, taking them to sixth place in the Premier League.
The Red Devils are under massive pressure after a £200 million spending spree failed to deliver a strong start to the season. They are currently 13th in the league with just seven points from six games. It’s clear that Ten Hag’s position is becoming increasingly precarious.
According to Duncan Castles from The Times, United are considering Silva as a potential replacement. The Portuguese manager has already proven himself in the Premier League with Hull and Everton, and his appointment could be seen as a risk-free option.
The Old Trafford faithful are eagerly waiting to see what happens next, with Sir Alex Ferguson reportedly backing Massimiliano Allegri for the role. The Italian manager had two successful spells with Juventus and is known for his ability to get the best out of his players.
In a surprising twist, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ten Hag’s assistant manager, could be the dressing-room’s preferred choice to take over if the Dutchman gets the boot. Van Nistelrooy is a United legend and knows the club inside out.
INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to attend the trip to Aston Villa this weekend, which could be a make-or-break game for Ten Hag’s future at the club.
