Graham Potter is among the contenders who could potentially take over as manager of Manchester United if Ten Hag is dismissed.
Would Erik ten Hag be able to withstand a significant number of additional results similar to those that have led Manchester United to withdraw from Europe and struggle in the Premier League?
According to the latest odds provided by Oddschecker, here are the top candidates for the position:
1. Andoni Iraola:
Following a rough start at the club, Iraola’s Bournemouth team secured a notable 3-0 victory at Old Trafford, enhancing his growing reputation. At just 41 years old, he presents a forward-thinking option.
2. Theresa Farioli:
Though lacking a football background, Farioli is currently employed by INEOS in Nice at the age of 34, making him an intriguing prospect.
3. Zinedine Zidane:
The former Real Madrid coach has been absent from the sport for over two years but has expressed readiness to return. Zidane’s unique aura and successful track record make him an attractive option.
4. Unai Emery:
The Manchester United managerial role may be more appealing to Emery than a high-profile position at Liverpool. Emery has experience replacing Big Six legends and could provide a fresh perspective at United.
5. Hansi Flick:
Flick, who enjoyed success with Bayern Munich, has faced challenges since taking over as Germany’s coach in 2021. Despite this, his past achievements make him a strong contender for the Manchester United job.
6. Jose Mourinho:
Mourinho’s potential return to Manchester United has been the subject of speculation, although he may be more inclined to return to Chelsea.
7. Roberto De Zerbi:
De Zerbi’s impressive work with Brighton has caught the attention of many Manchester United supporters, although there may be reservations given his previous experience at Chelsea.
8. Ruben Amorim:
Amorim, despite being dismissed by Manchester United as a potential candidate, is seen as a suitable option due to his young age and managerial success with Sporting.
9. June Lopetegui:
Lopetegui has managed major clubs like Real Madrid and experienced the Premier League with Wolves, making him a viable option for Manchester United.
10. Graham Potter:
Potter, who previously managed Brighton, is mentioned as a potential replacement for Ten Hag. Despite a challenging season with Chelsea, he has the potential to rebuild his reputation at a top club like Manchester United.
