The name will replace Ten Hag when Sir Jim Ratcliffe takes charge

Journalist Dean Jones believes that the new boss of the Red Devils will replace Erik Ten Hag immediately.

Roberto De Zerbi could be appointed Manchester United manager if Erik Ten Hag is sacked in the coming weeks.

The Red Devils announced yesterday that an agreement had been reached that Sir Jim Ratcliffe would take over 25% of the club’s shares. He will be the one to make the decision on Ten Hag’s future after the contract is approved by the Premier League.

Man Utd, the team that ranked 3rd last season, is currently ranked 8th in the Premier League rankings. They have lost more than won in every competition this season. Ten Hag is currently under huge pressure and if things do not improve in the next few weeks, he will likely be pushed out.

If that happens, journalist Dean Jones believes that Brighton & Hove Albion coach Roberto De Zerbi will attract the interest of Manchester United.

He told GiveMeSport : “It could be that if and when Ten Hag leaves, Manchester United will have a chance with De Zerbi because he has shown what he can do in Brighton games. As long as he can work within the culture of Manchester United, that’s fine.”
