Man Utd’s Erik ten Hag replacement agrees to take another job after Burnley draw
The Manchester United side under Erik ten Hag faced another disappointing result on Saturday, dropping points for the 18th time this season. This setback has reportedly complicated the search for ten Hag’s replacement, as potential candidates are making other career moves.
The team’s failure to secure a win against relegation-threatened Burnley has increased the likelihood of another season in the Europa League. Furthermore, the possibility of a managerial change at United is being discussed, but one of the reported targets, Thiago Motta, seems set to accept a job offer from Serie A’s Juventus, reducing the options available to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS.
In addition to this setback, West Ham United is showing interest in Julen Lopetegui, another manager rumored to be a target for United. With AC Milan also eyeing Lopetegui, the pool of potential replacements for ten Hag appears to be dwindling.
This situation may leave Ratcliffe and his associates with no choice but to retain ten Hag, despite the growing pressure on the manager. Despite the challenges facing the team, ten Hag remains adamant about the style of play and the team’s performance.
He expressed frustration at the missed opportunities and the team’s inability to maintain control during matches, acknowledging the need for improvement in securing victories.
