Claim: Simone Inzaghi to Replace Erik ten Hag!

Leading contender to take over at Manchester United should Erik ten Hag be Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi. Ten Hag’s future is under examination following United’s 3-0 loss to Tottenham; Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the co-owner of the club, is apparently prepared to assess his status during the next international break.

Given United’s just two wins out of their past seven games in all competitions, doubts over ten Hag’s leadership have surfaced. Only four points above the relegation zone, they place 12th in the Premier League ranking. Ten Hag wants to turn the tide, thus the Europa League game against Porto on Thursday and the visit to Aston Villa are really vital.

Ratcliffe Weighs Up Alternatives Amid Ten Hag Uncertainty

Ratcliffe, who recently extended ten Hag’s contract, is hesitant to fire him, but the decision will be taken after discussing chief executive Omar Berrada, sporting director Dan Ashworth, and fellow owners the Glazers. Should Ratcliffe choose to change, Gareth Southgate, former England manager, and Inzaghi are among the major options.

Thanks to his achievements displaying tactical ability at Inter Milan, Inzaghi has attracted interest. Gareth Southgate, meantime, has a close relationship with Ashworth and is still well loved among the United administration. Although both managers have distinct strategies, Ratcliffe will have to carefully consider his choices as United wants to arrest their present fall and restore their top contender status in the Premier League.
