According to British media, Manchester United worked hard to meet with candidates for next season's new coach during the intermission period of the international game. After Ten Hag, they "interviewed" two other potential coaches. The identities of the two coaches have not been made public but are believed to be between Pochettino of Paris Saint-Germain , Luis Enrique of Spain and Lopetegui of Sevilla .
Ajax coach Ten Hag has taken the lead in completing the interview last Monday. His performance is good and has been recognized by Manchester United. However, the club has yet to make a contract offer. British football journalist Edward Francis revealed over the weekend: "There has been a verbal agreement between Ten Hag and Manchester United, and the club may make an official offer as early as next Sunday. Ten Hag has agreed to coach Manchester United, and now he is invited to coach, only The official contract given by Manchester United is poor."
But Francis later emphasized that Manchester United had not confirmed Ten Hag as coach. "A lot of people take what I'm saying as if Ten Hag is set for Man Utd, but it's still a long way off. All I'm saying is that Ten Hag agreed to take over at Manchester United, and Manchester United may also choose him in the next few days. If it is done this week. Paperwork, that's the deal."
Understandably, every football journalist wants to be the first to confirm Manchester United's new manager, but credible sources like Sky Sports UK and BBC haven't heard anything. , so Red Devils distance to determine the new coach, there is still a lot of distance.
The British " Daily Express " said that Manchester United football director John Mertave and technical director Darren Fletcher have now interviewed a total of three new coach candidates. Well-known Manchester United correspondent Andy Mitten confirmed on the Manchester United podcast "United We Stand" that Manchester United had conducted two more interviews after meeting Ten Hag.
Pochettino is believed to have held talks with Mertave but there has been no follow-up since. The only certainty is that Manchester United hope to have a new manager before the end of the season.
"Daily Mail" disclosed that although Ten Hag is currently the first choice for the new coach, there are many people in the Manchester United team who support the former Barcelona coach Enrique . Insiders revealed that the 51-year-old Enrique has another advantage. He coaches the national team, so Manchester United does not need to give too high a break-up payment, just convince the coach himself.
The paper's football reporter Mike Keegan insists that Enrique is no outsider and can compete with Ten Hag and Pochettino. "Don't ignore the opportunity of Spain coach Enrique to be the next manager of Manchester United," Keegan explained. "From a financial point of view, he is very attractive to the Glazer family because Manchester United don't have to pay a high price."
Manchester United The owners, the Glazer family, are well aware that they must pick the right manager to quell the anger of the fans. A survey of 100,000 fans of Premier League 20 clubs shows that Glazer is the boss with the lowest approval rating, with only 4% of fans thinking that the Red Devils boss has done a good job, not as good as Newcastle United fans Owner Mike Ashley has half the approval rating (10.8%).
But Glazer also feels wronged. During their 17 years at the club, Manchester United won 5 Premier League titles, 1 Champions League, 1 Europa League, 1 FA Cup and 4 League Cups also created 4 transfer records, introducing Pogba , Maguire , Lukaku and Sancho . But the vast majority of Manchester United's championships were won by Fergie. Among the other coaches, only Mourinho won two championships and Van Gaal won a trophy. Therefore, Glazer has reason to believe that Manchester United is only one ideal coach away from renaissance.
