After being eliminated by Atletico in the Quarter-finals of the Champions League, United are about to embark on a new period of reconstruction. But the most important thing in all reconstruction work is to find a new manager first, and then start the lineup under the leadership of the new manager. For a long time in the past, there have been a few names that have frequently appeared in Manchester United's manager change list, among which Pochettino and Tenhag have the highest popularity. Uncle Bo has always been the hottest one, and it seems that United will only consider Tenhag if they can't sign him, but things seem to have changed recently.
Earlier, Manchester Evening News's Manchester United and team reporter Lukehurst wrote an analysis that although Manchester United has not yet made a final decision and Pochettino is still considering, Ajax manager Tenhag has become the first choice for the next Red Devils manager. In addition, due to chelsea's uncertainty, Manchester United were unable to exclude Tuchel. Two Spanish coaches, Enrique and Lopetegui, are among them.
These 5 managers are also relatively many with Manchester United in the past, and they are also among the best in each issue of the odds list. But to be honest, the most likely candidate for United's new manager is still between Pochettino and Tenhag, and the other 3 are unlikely.
The first thing that can be ruled out is Enrique. For the former Barca boss, the current consideration is to lead the Spanish national team to the World Cup, and it is unlikely that he will accept Manchester United's invitation halfway before that.
Secondly, Lopetegui's performance in charge of Sevilla has also been recognized by the club's top management, the two sides have extended the contract until 2024, and Manchester United will definitely need to pay the termination fee if they want to dig people.
As for Tuchel, with Chelsea's future locked in uncertainty, United seem to see hope for poaching. But judging from Tuchel's high emotional intelligence performance in maintaining the club in recent times, no matter what Chelsea's future holds, Tuchel is an important force in stabilizing the team and cannot be easily let go. In addition, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg, there is uncertainty at Chelsea club due to the sanctions imposed on owner Abu, and Manchester United is indeed interested in inviting Tuchel to coach and asking about him. But Tuchel loves Chelsea and wants to stay with the Blues, and Tuchel's family is having a great time in London, he didn't actually consider the option of coaching at Manchester United.
Chelsea can't let go, Tuchel doesn't think about leaving, and Manchester United seem to have hope, but in fact they are just unrequited.
Therefore, the new Manchester United manager will eventually return to Pochettino and Tenhag. The two managers are in the champions league, the two are almost certain to leave after the end of the season, as to who to choose, the club's top management needs to consider a variety of factors. Pochettino has Premier League coaching experience and has a good relationship with the club's top brass. But his coaching performance in Paris has been questioned and his ability to manage the dressing room is lacking.
Tenhag's coaching performance at Ajax has been impressive, with the team playing gorgeously and defensively solid. Although the Champions League was eliminated by Benfica, Ajax's performance was actually good. The team got 69 per cent of the ball and created 16 shots on goal, while Benfica scored on target with just four shots on target and one shot on target. In addition, Tenhag is also good at coaching young people, and the cooperation with Lonnick is expected to spark a spark, especially suitable for a team that has completely rebuilt and created a new system. Perhaps this is also the reason why Tenhag became the first choice for Manchester United and Pochettino dropped in the pick.
There are still more than 2 months to go before the season is over, during which time the new manager of Manchester United will gradually see the eyebrows, we will wait and see.
