Erik ten Hag appears to be a man on borrowed time at Manchester United, which has already identified a Premier League legend as his successor.
The plan is for Dutchman Erik ten Hag to oversee the final matches of the season before the sporting management hands him his termination notice.
There is also news about who the English top club plans to hire instead of Erik ten Hag, who is currently dealing with the issue of Antony being furious with two teammates.
Renowned journalist Santi Aouna now reports that English national coach Gareth Southgate is the top candidate.
There is no deal between Southgate and Manchester United yet, but the situation is expected to develop quickly. Ideally, Manchester United wants to finalize a deal in the coming weeks, so he can take over after the European Championship in Germany.
The new sporting management at Manchester United believes that Southgate is the right man to lead the club forward.
However, they are also still considering other candidates to avoid being caught unprepared if they cannot reach an agreement with Southgate.
According to inews.co.uk, Thomas Tuchel is also a possibility for Manchester United, and the same is the case for Graham Potter and Rubem Amorim.
53-year-old Southgate had a significant playing career, achieving more than 420 matches in the Premier League. Additionally, he also played 57 international matches for England.
Since 2016, he has been the English national coach, but it seems like that it is coming to an end.
