Manchester United looking to hire proven winner as Ten Hag heads towards exit signs
Manchester United reportedly have their sights set on former Chelsea and Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel, ahead of imminent crunch talks with under-fire coach Erik ten Hag, according to Manchester Evening News.
Questions continue to be asked of Ten Hag’s ongoing presence at Old Trafford following a hugely disappointing start to the 2024-25 campaign.
Sky Sports reported Tuchel was on the shortlist to succeed Ten Hag in the summer when new co-owners INEOS were deciding whether to depart with their manager, before ultimately opting to keep faith in the Dutchman.
However, United have won only three of 11 games this season, sit 14th in the Premier League table and have scored only five goals in seven league matches, the second lowest tally in the division.
According to the MEN, Manchester United are also interested in a number of candidates – but Tuchel holds an extra attraction as he is currently out of work.
The INEOS hierarchy are set for a meeting on Tuesday as they decide their next move, with Man Utd’s next game not until October 19 because of the international break.
Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov believes Ten Hag will continue to face criticism until results improve.
“I think the criticism will continue to grow because United need to win to get the points,” Berbatov told Sky Sports.
“They are 14th in the table, which is unbelievable. The only thing to correct it is getting the points, but with the way they are playing at the moment that will be hard.”

Why did that Manchester United give Ten Hag a new contract – but a ton of players that the Dutchman wanted and now want to get rid of the man – at least give him until Christmas right?
