According to the English media, the leaders of Manchester United already have a name in mind, if Erik ten Hag will be fired from the position of coach at the "Red Devils". It is about the former Chelsea coach, Graham Potter, who is now free.
The pressure is growing more and more on Erik ten Hag, after quite negative results in recent weeks. Manchester United was defeated by Bayern Munich with a score of 1-0 in the Champions League, and this defeat ended European football for this season, for the "Red Devils". The English finished the group in last place, failing to even qualify for the Europa League. Ten Hag's men were also thumped 3-0 in the Championship by Bournemouth, a defeat that left a rather bitter taste among the club's fans.
Despite the pressure, Ten Hag is not expected to be sacked until English billionaire Jim Ratcliffe officially buys 25% of the club's shares, as originally planned. When the transfer of shares is made official, many changes are expected to happen at United, starting with the coach. According to local media, Ratcliffe remains a big fan of Potter, despite the latter's negative experience at Chelsea.
In the meantime, United will face even more difficult encounters in the future. The "Red Devils" will travel to Liverpool to face Klopp's team at Anfield. Captain Bruno Fernandes will be unavailable due to yellow cards, while Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw are also doubtful due to injuries.
After the challenge against Liverpool, Ten Hag's faithful face another difficult encounter against Aston Villa, who have secured impressive victories in recent weeks against Arsenal and Manchester City.
