With more losses than victories in the current season, Manchester United has had a shaky start, and Erik ten Hag is under increasing pressure.
With two games played and no points in their Champions League group, United is finding it difficult to get going. They are in midtable in the Premier League.
El Chiringuito, a Spanish media site, has reportedly stated that the United management is so disappointed with the season’s start that they are prepared to replace Ten Hag with Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, as reported by Sport Witness.
“Everyone is aware of his qualities” | Ten Hag…
Ancelotti’s contract at the Bernabeu is coming to an end, and United is trying to entice the renowned manager to Manchester.
Nevertheless, Ancelotti’s lack of desire in returning to the Premier League will make it difficult to attract the Italian to Old Trafford.
Despite United’s formal offer, El Chiringuito columnist Benjamin Lopez claims that Ancelotti is seeking to extend his contract at Madrid and carry on with his job in the Spanish city.
“The latest offer comes from Manchester United and the Premier League; it was given to him orally through his agent and is not a written offer.
Tomorrow, they planned to take him. But he has no desire to manage in the Premier League again,” the journalist reports.
Two further offers are pending for Ancelotti at the end of the current campaign, both for leading the national teams of Brazil and Canada.
“In addition to the Brazilian offer, he has three more. One is to lead the Canadian National Team, which is emotionally appealing because he resides in Vancouver, according to the news source.
The record four-time Champions League champion manager would love to sign a contract extension with Real Madrid, but he is still open to managing Brazil.
Although he would be open to coaching Brazil, his true desire is to remain in Madrid. That is possible if this season goes well.
After the most recent international break, Ten Hag will be eager to get back to his best, which will put an end to United’s plans to replace him.
The Dutchman’s second season at the club has been severely hampered by a plethora of injuries and off-field concerns, despite his first season of success leaving fans enthusiastic about what lay ahead.
But when United visits a struggling Sheffield United on Saturday night, they have a fantastic opportunity to win back-to-back games for the first time in the league this season.
Then, in what might be a make-or-break ten days for the current United manager, Manchester City visits Old Trafford for a crucial Champions League match against Copenhagen.
