Manchester United’s board may be willing to stick with Erik ten Hag despite the latest disastrous defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League, but there is an ideal candidate ready and available should they change their mind. Ten Hag has been heavily backed in the transfer market since coming in as the club’s new manager in 2022 in a bid to build his own side.

Big money has been spent on the likes of Antony, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount and Andre Onana. They appeared to be on the right track in Ten Hag’s debut season as he helped them secure a top-four finish as well as ending their six-year trophy drought.

However, United have failed to kick on from there and are already playing catch up to start the new campaign. They’ve lost six of their opening 10 games across all competitions for the first time since 1986.

Defeat to Galatasaray has already left United with a mountain to climb in order to make it through to the knockout stages of the Champions League. Just three wins from seven league games has also left them falling seven points adrift in the battle to finish inside the top four once again.

United’s argument will be that there’s still plenty of time to turn things around for Ten Hag and the Dutchman was hired with the idea of looking at the long term vision. However, there will come a point where a decision will be need to made if Ten Hag is unable to turn things around.
