Manchester United were reportedly keeping tabs on Fulham manager Marco Silva before deciding to keep Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
According to a report from Fabrizio Romano on Caught Offside, Manchester United were lining up a move for Marco Silva as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag. The Portuguese tactician has done an impressive job at Fulham, and he could have proven to be a useful acquisition.
Erik ten Hag was facing an uncertain future at Manchester United, and he failed to get the best out of his players despite significant backing in the transfer market. Manchester United missed out on UEFA Champions League qualification.
The latest rumours have suggested that Manchester United could stick with the Dutchman after he won the FA Cup with Manchester United last season. Fabrizio Romano has now revealed that ten Hag will continue as the Manchester United manager, and the two parties are advancing in talks regarding a new deal as well.
Silva might have been an underwhelming option for fans
Marco Silva would have been an underwhelming option for the Red Devils. He has not managed any top clubs or won major trophies in his career. The fans will hope that the Red Devils can bring in an elite replacement for ten Hag if he is shown the door. A club of Manchester United’s stature is expected to win trophies every season, and an elite manager could help them get back to the top of English football.
Manchester United certainly have the bones of a good squad, but they need to bring in more quality this summer. It will be interesting to see if they can get their transfer business right and give the manager more options to work with.
The Dutch manager has shown that he can succeed in English football with Manchester United. But he needs quality players at his disposal. Manchester United have been quite poor with their transfer business in the recent windows, and they will have to improve on that front.
Despite spending significant sums of money, they have not been able to bring in reliable performers. Players like Antony and Jadon Sancho have cost a total of £150 million, but they have not been able to make a defining impact so far.
