It is with great pleasure that we announce that Thomas Tuchel, a former manager at Chelsea, has been appointed to the position of manager at this Premier League team, which is a surprising development. How on earth did he manage to perfectly execute this move? 😱😱
After a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa on Sunday, the 54-year-old manager now faces a critical stretch of games, with his team stuck in 14th place in the Premier League standings.
Co-owners Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Joel Glazer met with chief executive Omar Berrada and Ineos’ head of sport, Sir Dave Brailsford, at Old Trafford on Monday.
Discussions about Ten Hag’s future were part of the agenda during a meeting in London on Tuesday between Ratcliffe and senior officials.
However, Ten Hag remains focused on fixing the team’s current issues rather than worrying about his job security. After the Villa Park game, he stated that if he were under pressure, United’s leadership would have already informed him.
“They would have told me. I have no other impression. We communicate openly and honestly,” he said. “I think I speak with them every day; we have regular discussions.
You put it well – external noise. Inside, we’re disappointed. We need to do better, we know that. Especially, we have to score more goals.”
Speculation about potential successors for the Dutchman includes former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, who is considered a top candidate. Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ten Hag’s assistant, is another possibility for interim control, while Gareth Southgate has also been mentioned.
A fan poll conducted by the Manchester Evening News identified nine potential candidates to replace Ten Hag. Tuchel led the poll with 29 percent of the votes, followed by Zinedine Zidane with 16 percent.
Van Nistelrooy came third with 12 percent of the votes, while former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri and Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi each received six percent.
Michael Carrick garnered five percent of the votes, while Kieran McKenna and Graham Potter each received four percent. Southgate had the least support, with three per
cent of the vote.
