Manchester United's poor results in the league and Champions League definitely need someone to take responsibility, especially the result of being eliminated at the bottom of the Champions League group stage. It is difficult to satisfy Manchester United's management and fans. The team finished in the top four of the league last season and spent more than 200 million pounds in the summer window to strengthen the lineup. They thought they could show off their skills in the Champions League, but they did not even qualify for the group stage. This situation may even affect Ten Hag himself. Didn't even think of it. However, as the team's head coach, he must be the first person responsible for the team's loss.
According to the English media "The Sun", Manchester United has contacted former Chelsea coach Porter, hoping that he can take over Ten Hag's coaching position. However, at this stage, if you want to take over Ten Hag's position and lead Manchester United out of the quagmire, you will need not only the ability to coach, but also enough courage. Moreover, Manchester United's current locker room is full of troubles. Just the direct players signed by Ten Hag are a lot of pressure for any coach. It is still very difficult to complete the goal of changing coaches in a short period of time. .
Moreover, Manchester United is currently at a critical moment of acquisition, and it is difficult for them to make a decision to change coaches at this point in time, because the management appointed by the Glazer family has gradually withdrawn from Manchester United, and Ratcliffe The management of Manchester United has not officially taken over the job of Manchester United. Therefore, until Ratcliffe completes the acquisition of 25% of Manchester United's shares, Ten Hag's coaching position should be safe. However, this safe time will not be too long. Judging from the news in the English media, Manchester United will complete all the acquisition work before January.
Judging from the current situation, there are not many opportunities left for Ten Hag. The next few opponents of the team are relatively strong. It is difficult for any team Manchester United to guarantee that they can get it. Victory in the game, whether it is Liverpool or West Ham United, will bring a lot of pressure to Ten Hag. Especially in the Double Red Club game, if there is another big 0-7 loss, even at the critical moment of the acquisition, it will be difficult for Manchester United's management to retain Ten Hag's position. This is also a big blow to him. The biggest test.
Among the candidates to succeed Ten Hag, the top ones are Porter and Zidane. One is a top coach in the Champions League, and the other has coaching experience in the Premier League. He has a lot of experience in building the team's lineup. Less experience. However, it is very difficult for these two people to take over Manchester United. What Manchester United needs most at present is not the ability of the head coach, but the ability to change the environment of the team's locker room and find Manchester United again based on certain abilities. From this point of view, perhaps Mourinho is the best choice.
