Manchester United are currently 12th in the Premier League after another poor start to the season.
The Red Devils were humiliated by Tottenham at Old Trafford on Sunday in another disappointing result for Erik ten Hag and his team.
The Dutch manager faced an uncertain future at the club this summer but after talks co-owners, the hierarchy decided to keep him at the club, a decision which seemed highly influenced by Man United’s FA Cup win against Manchester City.
After getting backed by the club financially this summer and given five new players in the transfer window, Ten Hag has failed to make a positive impact at the club and it feels like it is not going to get better any time soon.
According to Daily Star, Man United have identified Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi as Ten Hag’s replacement at the club.
The Italian manager won the league title with Inter last season and has guided the Serie A giants to a total five trophies.
He also managed to take Inter Milan to the Champions League final in 2023, where they were beaten by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side.
The Italian manager is considered a master tactician and his playing style is appreciated throughout the world.
It remains to be seen if the Italian would be interested in taking over the Man United job, a job that has proved to be too difficult for some of the best managers in the world.
Gareth Southgate is part of the Man United shortlist
Along with Inzaghi, former England boss Gareth Southgate is the other leading candidate for the Man United job.
Southgate has admirers at Old Trafford, particularly in sporting director Dan Ashworth, who worked with the former England manager for the Football Association.
It is not only Ten Hag’s league form that is a huge concern but also his team’s form at the European stage.
Man United played a 1-1 draw against FC Twente in their first match of the Europa League this season. They face Porto in the next match which is not going to be easy either.
The Premier League giants are struggling to perform, with the team only four points above the relegation zone at the moment.
Gareth Southgate will just add to the list of below averagge managers at Man United. For me, this would be a mammoth mistake.
Simone Inzaghi YES.
Gareth Southgate a definite NO.
Simone Inzaghi will be the ideal manager with proven pedigree and winning mentality to lead the Red Devils to sustained success and glory,
He will show no prejudice to individual players and look at the whole team holistically and assess their strengths and skillsets to adopt a playing style and tactical ability to win games.
No matter how good his forwards are, Gareth Southgate always prefers to be on the offensive. His style of football is extremely boring and unimaginative. A horrible choice dfor MU.
Gareth Southgate does not play Man Utd football. No matter how successful, his turgid football style would never be accepted by the fans.
Please not Southgate or Potter. We need a top top manager who can change playing systems to suit games against the top teams in premiership and in Europe.
I would bring in Tuchel or Alegri as I don’t think Inzaghi would move yet.
Inzaghi would be the best option . Let’s give the team to him for 15 years and glory and honour shall be ours.
Ten Hag should as quickly as possible be sacked.
Who would come with any credentials to manage this bunch of freeloaders, we know ten Hag is not a good tactician a poor man manager of players but surely these are professional International players and they play without passion or pride, forget the manager coach yourselves and stand up to be counted.
I feel ole Gunnar soskjaer can work this time around coz the previous board denied him players he wanted but expected him to challenge for the title with that squad he had.Thats being unfair.under the current board,he can deliver,give his all
That’s not problem for man utd we need good manager and work hard for the player, now man utd need one more player box to box player to play for well for manchester united
