It is with great pleasure that we announce that Thomas Tuchel, a former manager at Chelsea, has been appointed to the position of manager at this Premier League team, which is a surprising development.

Following their run of five matches upon the stalemate with Aston Villa on Sunday, the 54-year-old manager finds himself in a pivotal phase ahead. Their performance left them mired in 14th position in the Premier League.

Co-owners Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Joel Glazer visited chief executive Omar Berrada and Ineos head of sport Sir Dave Brailsford at Old Trafford on Monday.

Ten Hag’s future was among the issues on the table during a Tuesday meeting in London between Ratcliffe and top officials.

Ten Hag, on the other hand, is more concerned with righting things than with looking ahead. He said during the game at Villa Park that, should he be under pressure, the United leadership would have informed him.

“They should have told me; I do not have any alternative concept. We interact quite transparently and open,” he remarked. “I think I will communicate with them every day since we have such conversations.

You phrased it rather nicely – external noise. Inside, we find ourselves let down. We have to improve, as we know. Particularly we have to score more.

Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is among the names that have surfaced as possible successors for the Dutch chief. Ten Hag’s assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy might assume temporary control while Gareth Southgate has also been linked.
Nine separate next managers were chosen by Manchester Evening News’s poll of supporters. With 29 percent of the voting, Tuchel topped all others; Zinedine Zidane came second with 16 percent.

With 12% Van Nistelrooy was the third most voted for; former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri and Inter Milan head Simone Inzaghi both got six percent of the votes.

Five percent of supporters cast ballots for Michael Carrick; the fewest votes went to Kieran McKenna (four percent), Graham Potter (four percent), Southgate (three percent).

Erik ten Hag’s position at Manchester United is under increasing scrutiny following a challenging period that sees the club mired in 14th place after a draw with Aston Villa. Amid this uncertainty, co-owners Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Joel Glazer met with key executives, including chief executive Omar Berrada and Ineos head of sport Sir Dave Brailsford, at Old Trafford. Discussions reportedly included Ten Hag’s future, with further talks held in London between Ratcliffe and top officials.

Despite external speculation, Ten Hag remains focused on improving the team’s performance. He emphasized transparent communication with the club’s leadership, suggesting he would have been informed if his job were in danger. His priority is addressing the team’s struggles, particularly their lack of goals.

In the event of a managerial change, several potential successors have emerged. Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel leads the list of fan preferences according to a Manchester Evening News poll, receiving 29% of the votes. Zinedine Zidane followed with 16%, while Ten Hag’s assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy garnered 12%. Other names in the mix include Massimiliano Allegri, Simone Inzaghi, Michael Carrick, Kieran McKenna, Graham Potter, and Gareth Southgate.
