Manchester United could consider bringing in Simone Inzaghi as Erik ten Hag’s replacement should the Dutchman get the sack.
According to Inter Live, Simone Inzaghi is a name that Manchester United could consider as a replacement for Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman has come under pressure following a dismal start to the new season, as he may have limited time to prove his worth.
Erik ten Hag has come under tremendous pressure to get his team performing, and should results continue to evade them, a sacking could be on the cards. INEOS chiefs are already considering his future in the dugout after yet another disappointing result away at Crystal Palace at the weekend, meaning the Dutchman may have limited time on his hands to turn things around.
Many reports have already linked Manchester United with potential replacements for ten Hag. An abysmal start to the season has seen the Red Devils slip out of the top half of the table, with only seven points on board after five games in this campaign so far.
Massimiliano Allegri was being linked recently, while Manchester United still consider Gareth Southgate as an option should they end up parting ways with ten Hag. Now, the heavyweight name of Simone Inzaghi has been thrown into the mix, with the report stating the 48-year-old Serie A-winning manager could think about the switch.
Simone Inzaghi to Manchester United?
Simone Inzaghi was linked with Manchester United earlier in the year, along with other clubs, as the 48-year-old Serie A-winning manager could be that big-name appointment the Red Devils could now consider. With his success rate at Inter Milan after their Scudetto-winning campaign the last time out, he might be seen as an upgrade to the Dutchman.
The report states that Inzaghi might consider the move if Manchester United approach him. The Italian manager recently played against Manchester City in the Champions League. If that performance were anything to go by, INEOS chiefs would have been thoroughly impressed by that display.
The idea of competing against the likes of Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta and Arne Slot might be a compelling thought for Inzaghi, who might have ambitions to manage in the Premier League. Hence, Manchester United could have a chance with the Italian, although getting him out of Inter Milan in the middle of the current season will prove a bit difficult.
