Report: Man Utd prepared to open talks with Ten Hag successor, he’s unbeaten at Old Trafford

After the 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Tottenham, it was reported that Erik ten Hag was on thin ice and the next two games were set to be deciding.

Well, we are now one game into this two-game judgment week, and United drawing 3-3 with Porto will not have eased the pressure on the Dutchman.

This therefore means a bad outing and defeat against Aston Villa on Sunday could seal Ten Hag’s fate. In anticipation of this, it has been reported United are prepared to open talks with a potential successor.

Thomas Tuchel could replace Erik ten Hag

Ahead of the fateful day at Villa Park, rumours are already intensifying over who United could possibly be eyeing up to be Ten Hag’s successor.

Now, it has been reported by I Paper that Thomas Tuchel is the man that United are now prepared to open talks with, in the event Ten Hag is sacked.

Tuchel was considered in the summer, however, talks ultimately broke down over the German manager’s financial demands and also disagreements over how much power he would have.
