Reports from The Sun UK claim Manchester United’s incoming sporting director, Dan Ashworth, held secret talks with former Chelsea manager Graham Potter about the managerial position.
It appears Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a recent investor acquiring a quarter of the club, favors Potter as a potential replacement for the current manager, Erik ten Hag, whose results haven’t met expectations.
Potter, known for his successful tenure at Brighton and brief stint at Chelsea, is a sought-after manager by several top clubs.
Despite rejecting other offers, rumors suggest he might be open to replacing Ten Hag if the chance arises.
While Sir Jim reportedly admires Zinedine Zidane, it seems unlikely the French legend will be taking the reins at Old Trafford.
