According to a recent TEAMtalk report, the decision-makers at Manchester United have been impressed by the Brighton and Hove Albion manager.
Despite facing criticism at Old Trafford, Ten Hag could encounter more challenges if he fails to enhance the team’s performance. United’s season appears to hinge once again on their league position, considering their potential group stage elimination from the Champions League following a disappointing 3-3 draw against Galatasaray. Additionally, they have already been eliminated from the Carabao Cup.
Although they have shown good form in the Premier League, their consistency has varied since the season’s start. Presently, after 13 games, the club sits sixth in the table with 24 points, having won the league title 20 times.
Ten Hag’s tenure as manager might be in jeopardy if the team fails to secure a spot in the following season’s Champions League. This possibility is influenced by British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s recent acquisition of a 25% ownership stake, which could alter his intentions for the club.
To stay competitive, Ten Hag should swiftly enhance the team’s performances, especially given rumors that De Zerbi has impressed enough at the AMEX Stadium to be considered for the Glazers’ managerial shortlist.
