Should the Dutchman eventually face the sack this season, it will be interesting to see if Manchester United replace him temporarily with assistant manager Ryan Giggs or appoint Jose Mourinho as his permanent successor at Old Traffford. the fact that Pep Guardiola will be up for grabs next season could further influence United’s decision.
