Ratcliffe selects an intriguing substitute as Ten Hag faces the Man Utd axe.

INEOS is reportedly considering Julian Nagelsmann as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag, as per a report that highlights Manchester United’s current managerial situation. Following a defeat against Fulham, where the absence of a recognized number nine and scrutiny over Ten Hag’s squad selection and tactics intensified, the pressure on the Manchester United boss has escalated once again. Despite a recent streak of decent performances, Manchester United’s overall season has been dismal, prompting new minority stakeholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe to withhold a vote of confidence for Ten Hag. With INEOS known for their assertive approach to recruitment and managerial decisions, Ten Hag’s future at Manchester United beyond this season remains uncertain, especially after disappointing results like the one against Fulham. Amidst these uncertainties, Julian Nagelsmann emerges as a potential candidate for the managerial position, with reports suggesting his interest in the role since last summer. However, Nagelsmann’s current commitment to the German national team until Euro 2024 poses a timing challenge for Manchester United, who ideally prefer a new coach to join the club at the beginning of preseason rather than towards its end.
