Despite an FA Cup win under Erik ten Hag, Manchester United’s new ownership is exploring options. Talks have reportedly been held with Brentford’s Thomas Frank and former Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Manchester United finished the Premier League season in a disappointing eighth place, their worst finish in the Premiership era. However, they managed to salvage some pride by securing their first FA Cup win in eight years with a 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the final.
This FA Cup victory, Ten Hag’s second consecutive trophy win, might not be enough to save his job. New minority owners INEOS are keen on restructuring the club to return it to its former glory, and a change in management could be part of that plan.
According to UtdPlug (via Telegraph Ducker), United have discussed potential replacements with both Frank and Pochettino.
Frank successfully steered Brentford away from relegation, while Pochettino guided Chelsea to a respectable sixth-place finish, capping off the season with a strong run of five consecutive league victories.
