Although not yet officially announced, it is a foregone conclusion that Tenhach will become the next Manchester United manager. Why the Dutch stood out among the 8 candidates, the Sun revealed the secret.
After listing the list of 8 candidates including Pochettino, Enrique and Lopetegui, the United executives met with them face-to-face to understand their coaching ideas.
In March, Manchester United's technical director Fletcher and football director Motov flew to Amsterdam to meet Tenghach for the first time. Surprisingly, Tenhach was outspoken at this meeting, pointing out one by one the mistakes United have made over the past 9 years.
The Sun revealed that after Tenhach accurately exposed the problems with Manchester United, Fletcher and Motov returned to Manchester with a shocked face. Manchester United insiders revealed that "it's like Manchester United giving an interview with Tenhach, not the other way around." ”
After that, Manchester United CEO Alexander-Arnold also flew to Amsterdam to talk to Tenhach again. The Dutchman once again pointed out the problems with Manchester United, "completely tearing apart the organization of Manchester United", and particularly criticized Manchester United's scouting and reinforcement policy.
In the nine years since Ferguson retired, United have invested £1 billion in reinforcements, however, not only have the Red Devils failed to return to the top, but the team is now regarded as "the worst Manchester United in 30 years". In the summer window, Manchester United will definitely overhaul the squad, and many stars, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Pogba, are likely to leave.
The Sun revealed that It took the United hierarchy days to digest what Tenhach had told them, but ultimately came to the conclusion that they were impressed by the Dutchman's frank assessment and vision for the club, rather than being intimidated.
United are likely to lose tickets to next season's Champions League, or even to play in Europe, which will lead them to reduce their investment in the summer window. However, United executives believe Tenhach can make the most of the potential of the current group of players.
The United hierarchy is also well aware that this change of manager will be their most important decision in the near future. After Ferguson retired, Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjaer, as well as Giggs, Carrick and Lonnick failed to save the team, will Tenhach become the savior of Manchester United?
