United are speeding up their search for a permanent manager after their recent defeat to City when the club's new president, Richard Arnold, witnessed the derby defeat in the stands. The correctness of hiring interim manager Ronnick has been questioned, and the rumors of dressing room turmoil at the club every five minutes must have raised concerns among The United hierarchy.
According to the BBC, the process of finding a new long-term manager for Manchester United is underway and some progress has been made. Some players believe that the absence of an official manager will not help the club to qualify for the Champions League. At present, Paris Saint-Germain's Pochettino and Ajax's Tenhag continue to maintain the two popular positions in charge of Manchester United, and Real Madrid's Ancelotti is also rumored. Britain's "Daily Mirror" claimed that Southampton's Hasenhüttel is also on The United side.
But United's director of football, John Mertav, declared that the new manager must have the strength to lead the team to win the Premier League and champions league, so that Hasenhüttel's chances are much less.
Manchester United interim manager Ralph Lonnick spoke highly of Tenhag over the weekend, "I don't know him as a person, but since he took charge of Ajax I have seen how he has developed the team. I know what he does in Bayern Munich and it's clear that he's one of the top coaches in Europe, but there are some others."
United's problem this season has been that neither attack nor defended, while Tenhag has scored well in attack and defence at Ajax, with the team scoring more than 100 goals in all competitions and conceding in single digits in the league.
Ajax beat RK Valvick 3-2 last weekend, but the process of taking all three points was a twist and turn, the team led 2-0, but was equalized by the opponent, and finally Tadiq from the Premier League completed the shootout. After the match, Tenhag publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the team: "If the score is 2-0 at the end of the half, then the final score should be 5-0. Usually so, but not tonight, we got away with it. But there was a dramatic shift in the game, and we started taking a lot of risks, too risky."
What Tenhag meant was that teams should attack within control, not recklessly. United also need such a manager, and Ajax will not create a huge obstacle to Tenhag's departure. However, there are also some variables, because the sports director who was close to him before, Ovimas, left the club because of the scandal, and it was Overmas who reached a departure agreement with Tenhag in the past.
Paris Saint-Germain boss Pochettino is also a candidate, and his future may be clearer in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 with Real Madrid. Paris is 1-0 in the first leg, and if it is successfully promoted, or even won the championship, Paris will definitely leave Uncle Bo; conversely, the probability of Pochettino leaving is greatly increased.
Britain's "Daily Telegraph" revealed that there is another factor that will also affect the negotiations between Manchester United and the potential official manager, that is, whether it can reach the top four of the Premier League this season. At present, Manchester United is still 1 point behind Arsenal in more than 3 games, and only 2 points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur who have played two games less, and the prospect of competing for four is not optimistic.
And once the Champions League quota is missed, it may seriously affect the transfer budget this summer, and the Glazer family may reduce the transfer investment. In the summer window last year, Manchester United spent £140 million on reinforcements, compared with £325 million in the previous three seasons, but without success, the US boss is afraid to ask the new manager to use a rookie, and not every coach is willing and capable of doing so.
Therefore, the British media stressed that at least within 3 months, There will be no final result for Manchester United's manager, and fans need to continue to wait patiently.
