Legendary Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti reportedly received an approach from Manchester United to replace Erik ten Hag.
According to El Chiringuito TV, Manchester United have set sights on Carlo Ancelotti to become their new manager in case they disperse off with Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman’s future has come under scrutiny following a terrible start to the campaign, but the Italian’s future away from the Spanish giants remains undecided as things stand.
There are some developments taking place at Manchester United, and it could affect the sporting side of things. The club’s board were set to take a vote on Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s investment, which would allow the British billionaire a 25% stake in the club.
As part of the deal, Sir Ratcliffe could take over the sporting control of the club, where he will have the power to make changes in a lot of areas. That includes firing their current manager, Erik ten Hag, who has come under some scrutiny for a terrible start to the campaign.
Sir Ratcliffe would certainly flex his powers, and more often than not, it’s the manager who gets the axe in such a situation, especially when the club continues to perform badly. While Manchester United have previously backed the Dutchman despite some abject performances, things could change under new leadership.
There were links to Julen Lopetegui, who remains available after quitting Wolves at the start of the season. Yet, if Manchester United and Sir Ratcliffe were to appoint a new head coach, then they might consider a more formidable name, such as Legendary Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Ancelotti was a target for the club a few years ago but decided not to take up the job. With Sir Ratcliffe thinking about a new sporting project, the Italian might see the appeal of becoming their manager. His future at Real Madrid remains uncertain as there are links to the Brazilian national team job.
Many reliable sources have indicated the Legendary Real Madrid manager would become Brazil’s next manager, but there are chances for that to change. The Spanish giants have considered Roberto De Zerbi and Xabi Alonso as replacement options for the Italian but have yet to come to a concrete decision.
As for the Manchester United interest, they might make a serious approach for Ancelotti if they make up their mind about Ten Hag. For now, the Dutchman will remain in charge, but things could rapidly change if Sir Ratcliffe’s plans come to fruition and he takes control of the sporting part of the club.
First glazers should part ways with Manchester United once and for all
