Manchester United are likely to pursue former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel if they choose to sack Erik ten Hag this season, The Mirror has reported.
The Red Devils have reportedly already lined up a replacement for the Dutch tactician, who appears to be back under pressure three games into the new Premier League season.
Last weekend’s 3-0 home defeat to Liverpool saw United drop to 14th in the table, with back-to-back losses before the international break.
This was the third time in the last five seasons Manchester United have lost two of their opening three matches of a Premier League campaign, with Ten Hag the only manager to suffer that fate twice with the club in the competition, according to Opta.
After Sunday’s loss, the Dutchman said he is ‘not Harry Potter’ and refused to accept the negative view of the result, suggesting three of his players had their first start of the season.
Ten Hag remained adamant that Man United have ‘a big chance’ to lift another trophy at the end of the season, following last year’s FA Cup success.
