Manchester United are expected to appoint a new manager at the end of the season after a disappointing campaign, with Hansi Flick keen on taking up the job.
Erik ten Hag is on thin ice, and he could be shown the door at the end of the season. Manchester United have been quite disappointing, and they are set to miss out on Champions League qualification. However, they have the FA Cup final coming up against Manchester City, and a cup win could hand him a lifeline. According to talkSPORT, Hansi Flick wants to join Manchester United as the replacement for ten Hag.
The 59-year-old has proven his quality in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich in the past, and he guided them to a treble as well. There is no doubt that the German tactician has the quality to manage a big club like Manchester United. Having managed Bayern Munich, he will know the demands at a big club and might be the ideal manager to handle the pressure at Old Trafford.
Manchester United have not won major silverware for a while, and they are desperate to lift trophies now. Hansi Flick will be expected to guide them to trophies immediately, and it will be interesting to see if the German can handle the pressure and deliver on the pitch. The 59-year-old has proven himself to be an astute tactician, and he could get Manchester United firing once again.
Manchester United need a proven manager
Although Erik ten Hag was highly rated in Europe before his move to Manchester United, the appointment has not worked out as time has worn on. He has been backed significantly in the transfer market but has not been able to deliver major trophies. In addition, Manchester United will miss out on a top-four finish.
Further, most of his big money signings have been flops and the Red Devils need a fresh start right now. Manchester United have been linked with several other managers like Thomas Tuchel, Zinedine Zidane and Graham Potter as well. England manager Gareth Southgate is also reportedly an option for them.
It will be interesting to see who they end up appointing in the end. Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they need to bring in a top quality manager who can turn things around immediately.
The Red Devils have the resources to sign the best players, and they cannot afford to take a gamble when it comes to a appointing a new manager. They must look to bring in a proven candidate who has won major trophies throughout his managerial career and is capable of taking on the challenge in the Premier League.
