Erik ten Hag situation, Thomas Tuchel hiring, Max Allegri links: Manchester United rumour roundup

Pressure continues to grow on Erik ten Hag after defeat against Tottenham.

After Manchester United finished eighth in the Premier League with a negative goal difference last season, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Sir Dave Brailsford, and the rest of the Ineos leadership at the end of the previous season discussed with a number of possible candidates about the managerial job.

They ultimately made the decision to continue with Erik ten Hag as manager. Who could have predicted, following that choice, that they would soon find themselves back where they started despite spending millions of money to bring in new players and bolster their squad in the summer window?

Following their poor performance this season the speculations have already started to make rounds and in this piece, we take a look at United roundup news and newly linked managers.

Manchester United board back Ten Hag to continue despite defeat against Tottenham.

The football leadership structure of Manchester United continues to back Erik ten Hag, and there are no urgent plans to replace him as manager.

Everyone agrees that the lack of effort in the 3-0 loss to Tottenham was intolerable, and the hierarchy’s current priority is to help the Dutchman, his backroom team, and the players turn things around.

Ten Hag will remain at the club for the difficult matches against Porto and Aston Villa before the international break. Since his appointment, more than £600 million has been spent on hiring, adding more pressure on his job.

Max Allegri is linked with the Man Utd job.

Manchester United’s miserable start to the season continued with a 3-0 home loss against Tottenham. Now rumours have started to swirl that the Red Devils are looking for possible managers to replace the Dutchman. As a possible alternative for Erik ten Hag, the team is apparently considering former Juventus coach Max Allegri.

Pressure on Ten Hag is increasing, and the Red Devils’ next slate of games will determine the Dutch manager’s future, according to reports Some influential members of the team think Allegri is the appropriate manager to take over.

After just seven points from their first six Premier League games, Manchester United are now eight points below leaders Liverpool.

Simone Inzaghi is seen as Erik ten Hag’s replacement by the club’s board.

After assuming over Inter Milan in 2021, Inzaghi has led the squad to five trophies, including the Serie A title from the previous season. This has impressed the board of United.

Inzaghi led Inter to their first Champions League final in thirteen years in 2023, but they lost to Manchester City in Istanbul by a slim margin of 1-0.

Although the Italian has developed a resilient mindset at Inter, if he were to take the helm at United, one would anticipate that he would employ a more offensive approach.

Thomas Tuchel is once again in the frame for United’s job.

Thomas Tuchel, the former manager of Bayern Munich and Chelsea, was one man who supposedly caught Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s attention in the summer. Following his departure from Bayern at the end of the previous season, the German is currently jobless. Over the coming weeks, it’s likely that his name will come up in rumours.

After working at Chelsea, Tuchel hinted at his interest in the Premier League before departing Bayern Munich at the end of the previous season. If United decides to fire Ten Hag, the former coach of Dortmund is once again a possible candidate to take over as head coach.
