Manchester United are looking out for options in case things don't go as planned for Manchester United

As Erik Ten Hag holds on to Manchester United's wheel, whispers of potential managerial changes have begun to surface.

While the club publicly backs Erik ten Hag, behind-the-scenes discussions suggest they are preparing for the possibility of a shift in leadership if results do not improve.

Recent reports from Calciomercato.it indicate that United is exploring options for Ten Hag's potential replacement, with Italian coach Massimiliano Allegri emerging as a notable candidate.

Allegri, who parted ways with Juventus this summer, is available on a free transfer and reportedly enjoys a favorable reputation among the club's hierarchy at Old Trafford. His proven track record in Serie A makes him an appealing option for a club desperate to return to its former glory.

Sources suggest that there’s a “silent verification” process underway, with club officials discreetly gauging the mood around Ten Hag’s performance.

Despite his backing through the summer, the pressure is mounting, especially after a series of disappointing results.

The club is keenly aware of the critical nature of the upcoming fixtures, and the urgency to turn things around may leave Ten Hag’s future hanging by a thread.

While Allegri is not the only name being discussed, his willingness to return to football without jumping to the Saudi League adds to his allure.

However, insiders speculate that the buzz surrounding his potential move to Manchester may be driven by Allegri’s agent, keen to amplify interest in his client.

Ultimately, while Ten Hag has the support of the board for now, the shifting dynamics suggest that Manchester United is preparing for every eventuality.

With the pressure mounting, the club may soon have to make a pivotal decision regarding their managerial direction.
