According to The Mail, if Manchester United’s new season starts poorly, Ten Hag could be at risk of being sacked at any time, and Tuchel has been internally identified as the primary candidate to succeed him.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag has renewed his contract with Manchester United for two more seasons until 2026. Currently, this bald Dutch coach is fully focused on preparing the team for the pre-season matches. Moreover, in the transfer market, Manchester United has just signed Zirkzee from Bologna for £36.5 million. Furthermore, Manchester United is in communication regarding De Ligt, Branswijk, Joro, Ugarte, and other players. On the surface, it appears that the Ineos Group is providing full-throttle support for Ten Hag’s transformation of the team.
However, the reality is that Manchester United’s management has also prepared an emergency plan. The Mail reports that if Manchester United does not have a smooth start to the season, the Ineos Group may sack Ten Hag at any time. And Tuchel, who was dismissed from Bayern Munich, will be the top choice internally designated for the coaching position. Despite the fact that last month in Monaco, the Ineos Group failed to convince Tuchel to take over the team. The paper also reveals that the reason why Manchester United renewed its contract with Ten Hag is more about stabilizing morale, keeping Ten Hag calm, and allowing the team to better prepare for the pre-season matches.
