Manchester United "First in Line" Replacement for Erik ten Hag as Struggles Continue
It’s been a dismal start to the season for Manchester United, and if things don’t improve quickly, the Dutchman might find himself on the hot seat. According to recent reports, United have a "first in line" candidate to replace ten Hag, and it’s none other than Thomas Tuchel.
The Red Devils have been in a pickle since the start of the campaign, with two losses in their opening three games. They scraped past Fulham on the opening day, but defeats to Brighton and Liverpool have left many questioning ten Hag’s abilities.
In a surprising move, United’s owners reportedly held talks with several managers, including Mauricio Pochettino, Marco Silva, and Thomas Tuchel. While Tuchel wasn’t the chosen one last time around, he might be the top contender this time.
