The INEOS revolution, led by British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has prompted discussions about the club's coaching staff, with the possibility of appointing a new manager being considered.
Roberto de Zerbi and Gareth Southgate, along with another unnamed Premier League boss, are reportedly in contention to succeed ten Hag, who endured a challenging 100th appearance in the Red Devils dugout after a 3-1 loss to Manchester City.
Despite ten Hag's contract running until 2025, there are suggestions that he could be replaced at the end of the current season.
Consideration of Managerial Changes and Potential Replacements
According to the Daily Mail, the club's decision-makers are evaluating their options as they assess ten Hag's tenure and the direction of the team. Ratcliffe's INEOS team has already initiated changes, including appointing Omar Berrada as the new CEO and negotiating with Dan Ashworth for the role of sporting director.
Southgate's potential candidature represents a bold move, considering his current role as England's head coach. However, De Zerbi and Thomas Frank are also among the favoured names for the position.
Both managers have demonstrated their capabilities in the Premier League, with De Zerbi's success at Brighton and Frank's achievements with Brentford attracting attention from top clubs.
