Graham Potter meets with Jim Ratcliffe as Man Utd’s Erik ten Hag sacking plan comes to light

According to reports, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has met with Graham Potter, and the former Chelsea manager is the man that Sir Jim Ratcliffe would most likely choose to succeed Erik ten Hag as the manager of Manchester United.

Ten Hag is under a great deal of pressure as a result of United’s humiliating elimination from the Champions League on Tuesday, when they were defeated by Bayern Munich by a score of 1-0. Over the course of this season, the Dutchman has now lost 12 of his 24 matches, and the club has suffered a significant setback as a result of his early departure from all European action.

Graham Potter meets with Jim Ratcliffe as Man Utd’s Erik ten Hag sacking plan comes to light

A rematch of the 7-0 thumping that United endured at Anfield in March would put Ten Hag’s position in jeopardy. United will be playing Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday, and the match will take place at Anfield.

It is believed that he is secure in the short term; however, given that Ratcliffe is currently waiting in the wings for the ratification of his £1.3 billion transaction for 25 percent of the club, his long-term job security is not even close to being guaranteed.

Ratcliffe reportedly spoke with Potter, who hasn’t been able to find employment since Chelsea fired him in April. The meeting took place, according to The Sun. In the past, Ratcliffe had expressed interest in hiring the former coach of Swansea and Brighton, and he had also expressed interest in hiring him to take control of Nice.

Potter has been connected with a few posts after being fired by Todd Boehly at Stamford Bridge; nevertheless, he is still available despite the fact that he turned down the opportunity to succeed Alex Neil at Stoke this week. During his time as Chelsea’s manager, the 48-year-old only managed to win 12 of the 31 games he oversaw, and he only lasted seven months into his five-year contract.

In the event that Old Trafford continues to struggle with bad results, he is not the only manager who has been mentioned as a potential replacement for Ten Hag.

Alongside Zinedine Zidane and Roberto De Zerbi, former Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui is also a candidate for the position of manager at Manchester United. Lopetegui’s experience in both the Premier League and in Europe makes him a potential candidate.

In April of 2022, Ten Hag was hired with the idea that he would be taking over a project that would last for a great deal of time. Even though he is under contract until June 2025, he is currently going through the most challenging period of his life as he has reached the halfway point of his agreement.

As a result of the injury issue, which might leave him without as many as thirteen players for the trip to Liverpool on Sunday, the present administration at United is said to have compassion for the situation. Not only has he had to deal with issues that have occurred off the field, such as those involving Jadon Sancho, Antony, and Mason Greenwood, but he has also had to deal with the complicated nature of the takeover.
