Former Manchester United chief scout and assistant manager Mick Brown suggests that Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is considering the opportunity to manage the Red Devils.
With Erik ten Hag’s future at the club uncertain due to disappointing performances this season, speculation is rife about potential replacements.
Ten Hag’s team currently sits in 11th place in the league and has been unable to secure victories in the Europa League.
From defense to attack, Manchester United has struggled to make an impact this season, putting Ten Hag’s position in jeopardy.
Amid rumors linking top managers to the Old Trafford hot seat, Brown reveals that Howe is intrigued by the idea of managing one of the biggest clubs in the world.
“I’ve heard he’d be tempted by the opportunity,” Brown told Football Insider.
“No matter the situation the club finds itself in, anybody would be tempted by that offer.
“There are major problems which need to be addressed, but it’s a great place to be and it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world.
“Howe, I believe, would back himself to sort out some of those problems, and that would get the crowd on his side.
“He’s got a very good reputation. I’ve never worked with him personally but I’ve heard nothing but good things about him and his management.”
The future of Erik ten Hag at Manchester United remains uncertain, with questions arising about his ability to lead the team to success.
Erik ten Hag must deliver consistent performances to secure his position at Man United
With higher expectations following the recent changes at the club, including the new ownership led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the pressure on Ten Hag has intensified.
Despite winning domestic cups, Ten Hag’s struggles in the league and in European competitions have put his job at risk.
The upcoming matches will be crucial for determining his future at the club, and failure to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League could spell the end of his tenure.
Vincenzo Montella is the latest manager linked to the Manchester United job, adding to the speculation and mounting pressure on Ten Hag, who ultimately holds the responsibility for the team’s current situation.
