The replacement for Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford has been named by Manchester United.
The Red Devils have had a terrible start to the season, which will continue tonight away to Bayern Munich, according to reports in the Netherlands. The team has now suffered three Premier League losses, with Saturday’s humiliating loss to Brighton & Hove Albion at home being a particularly painful setback.
Ten Hag has acknowledged that he is “under pressure” as Manchester United’s morale is now poor and that his bosses may replace him with a like-for-like exchange.
During this troubling stretch of form, according to 1908.nl in Ten Hag’s native Netherlands, Feyenoord manager Arne Slot is a “shoo-in” to replace his countryman in the dugout.
Currently, Slot is regarded as one of Europe’s best managers. According to The Athletic, the Dutchman garnered attention in the summer when he turned down an offer to coach Tottenham Hotspur in favour of signing a new deal in Rotterdam.
Therefore, the relationship between Slot, United, and Feyenoord is difficult. Given the state of affairs at Old Trafford, it would probably take a lot to persuade the Eredivisie-winning coach to leave De Kuip.
Ten Hag’s falling out with Jadon Sancho, removing Antony from first-team action after assault allegations, Mason Greenwood’s loan move to Spain, and the ongoing saga about the Glazers’ sale of the club have all tarnished United’s start to the season.
Although United is now in last place, they will play winless Burnley this coming weekend in the Premier League.
At Old Trafford, Ten Hag has a victory percentage of 64.2% after winning 43 of his 67 games in charge.
