Sir Alex Ferguson has identified Massimiliano Allegri as the preferred candidate to replace Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager. With Ten Hag facing a two-match ultimatum following a 3-0 loss to Tottenham, the club is considering Allegri and other potential replacements to revive their struggling season.
Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has reportedly pinpointed Massimiliano Allegri as the ideal candidate to replace Erik ten Hag, who is under significant pressure following a disappointing start to the season. After United's recent 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, Ten Hag has been given a stark ultimatum: win his next two matches or face the sack.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the club is already contemplating potential replacements as they prepare for their upcoming Europa League clash against FC Porto. Alongside Allegri, other candidates include Thomas Tuchel and Inter Milan's Simone Inzaghi. However, Ferguson's backing of Allegri signals a strong desire for a manager with proven experience at the highest levels of European football.
Despite a two-year contract extension earlier this year, Ten Hag’s position has become increasingly precarious, reflecting the club's frustration over their performance. The Red Devils are looking to improve quickly, and fans are eager to see if Ten Hag can rally the team in this critical moment.
United’s upcoming matches will be pivotal, as they not only aim to secure points in the Europa League but also face a challenging fixture against Aston Villa shortly thereafter. With the spotlight firmly on Ten Hag, Allegri's name looms large as the club considers a potential managerial change to restore their fortunes.
