Terms Agreed: Manager who the chance to join Man United few years ago has now agreed to join the Reds on a 3-years deal

United eye Potter and Tuchel as Ten Hag comes under pressure

United are now three games into the new season heading into this international break, and ten Hag’s side have won just one of those matches. Since the win over Fulham on the opening weekend, the Red Devils have lost to Brighton and Liverpool.

The weekend’s defeat to Liverpool has put the Dutchman under a lot of pressure, so much so United’s hierarchy are said to be looking at replacements already, with Graham Potter and Thomas Tuchel the current frontrunners.

Potter and Tuchel are currently out of work, with the Englishman yet to get back into football after being sacked by Chelsea, while Tuchel left German giants Bayern Munich at the end of last season as the club failed to win a trophy.

Both Potter and Tuchel were linked with the Manchester United job over the summer, as the future of ten Hag was under threat. Both managers were said to be keen on landing the Old Trafford hotseat, but the club decided to keep ten Hag in charge. The pair are being linked with the role once again, but there is also a third name in the frame, who may surprise people.

According to reports in Spain, Potter and Tuchel are still possible successors to ten Hag, but former German manager Joachim Löw is also another name in the frame. All three are without a football club, and the report states that they would be willing to take on the role should it become available.
