Sir Alex Ferguson ‘wants Max Allegri at Manchester United’: Bombshell report in Italy claims legendary manager ‘has chosen Erik ten Hag’s successor’ as pressure mounts on under-fire boss
A bombshell report in Italy claims a potential replacement for embattled Manchester Unitedboss Erik ten Hag has the backing of none other than Sir Alex Ferguson.
Ten Hag received a stay of execution after talk of the Dutchman being axed ramped up in the wake of a 3-0 loss at home to Tottenham on Sunday.
It was a performance Red Devils legend Gary Neville branded ‘disgusting’ and ‘an absolute disgrace’, but Ten Hag held on to his role ahead of two must-win matches against Porto and Aston Villa on Wednesday and Sunday respectively.
However, if results do not improve and United go into next week in the bottom half of the table, the calls for Ten Hag’s head will grow louder.
There will be no shortage of names linked to the role should Ten Hag be sacked just months after he signed a contract extension in the off-season after guiding the Red Devils to an FA Cup victory over cross-town rivals Manchester City
