There are growing indications that Manchester United would most likely relieve Coach Erik ten Hag of his duties and replace him very soon.
This followed series of defeats which the Premier League club have suffered in recent times, especially since the beginning of the current season in August.
EFL, EPL Et Al
Ten Hag is under even more pressure after United, the defending champions delivered another dismal performance at Old Trafford on Wednesday as they were dumped out of the Carabao Cup following a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle.
Before then, United were also convincingly beaten 0-3 by Manchester City in Sunday’s EPL derby.
Likely Replacements
Now, Metro UK, quoting The Times revealed that United are now considering replacing Ten Hag with either Sporting head coach, Ruben Amorim, or Zinedine Zidane.
Zidane has been out of work since leaving Real Madrid in May 2021 and speaking last year, the World Cup winner suggested that he would not take the United job due to his lack of fluency with the English language.
Amorim, meanwhile, won the Portuguese league and cup double in his first season with Sporting.
The 38-year-old was on Chelsea’s shortlist earlier this year before the west London club appointed Mauricio Pochettino.
