Should the Manchester United bosses opt to move on from their beleaguered boss – Erik ten Hag has been backed with a revamped coaching staff, a new behind-the-scenes structure and a handful of first-team signings and results remain as bad as ever – then the start of next week may be when the gallows are erected and the noose is tightened.
The former Chelsea, PSG and Bayern Munich job was reportedly offered the job. He turned it down due to concerns over how much power he would wield in a structure which gives much authority to the likes of Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox.
There is also the Ruud van Nistelrooy option.
In hindsight, perhaps the appointment of the United legend – a Dutch cup winner as manager of PSV Eindhoven in 2023 – was not made purely with the idea of helping Ten Hag on the training pitch after all.
