Ex-Chelsea boss Graham Potter could be the next manager of Manchester United, taking over from Erik Ten Hag
Graham Potter has emerged as a leading contender to potentially replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, following a meeting with future Manchester United executive Dan Ashworth.
As the impending arrival of Dan Ashworth as Manchester United's sporting director looms, reports have surfaced about a pivotal meeting between Ashworth and Graham Potter. Ashworth, currently on gardening leave from Newcastle amid negotiations with Manchester United, has reportedly initiated discussions with Potter, fueling speculation about the managerial future at Old Trafford.
Potential Role for Potter
Potter, whose managerial tenure at Chelsea came to an end in April 2023, has been earmarked as a potential successor to Erik ten Hag should Manchester United opt for a new direction. With Ashworth familiar with Potter from their time together at Brighton, the former Chelsea boss is seen as a favorable candidate to lead Manchester United forward under the new ownership.

Despite receiving offers since his departure from Stamford Bridge, Potter has maintained a patient stance, awaiting the right opportunity to return to management. With speculation swirling around his potential appointment at Manchester United, Potter's presence at various grounds in recent weeks has only intensified rumors of his imminent return to the managerial fray.
Ratcliffe's Rebuilding Agenda
Sir Jim Ratcliffe's recent investment in Manchester United has injected fresh uncertainty into Ten Hag's managerial tenure, prompting speculation about potential replacements. Ratcliffe's preference for Potter is evident, with reports suggesting his admiration for the 48-year-old manager and attempts to appoint him at Nice, a club also owned by Ratcliffe.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe's ambitious plans for Manchester United extend beyond on-field success, with a concerted effort to rebuild the football department and reshape the club's culture. The appointment of Omar Berrada as CEO signals Ratcliffe's commitment to off-field restructuring, complementing his pursuit of key personnel such as Ashworth and potentially a new manager in the summer.
As Manchester United navigates through a period of transition under new ownership, the managerial landscape remains fluid, with names like Potter, Simone Inzaghi, Ruben Amorim, and Thomas Tuchel swirling in the rumor mill. With Ashworth's arrival imminent and Ratcliffe's determination to revamp the club, the coming months promise to be pivotal for Manchester United's future direction.
