“My understanding” – Fabrizio Romano provides new information regarding Manchester United’s decision on the sacking of Erik ten Hag and potential replacement.

Manchester United’s manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly facing increased pressure at Old Trafford, with speculation suggesting that Brighton & Hove Albion’s Roberto De Zerbi is being considered as a potential replacement.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on United’s interest in De Zerbi and INEOS’ stance on ten Hag.

Following INEOS’ acquisition of a 25% stake in the club, there have been suggestions that changes could be made in the managerial position once new appointments are finalized behind the scenes.

While ten Hag had a successful season previously, winning the Carabao Cup, Manchester United has struggled for consistency this season.

Recent reports from Manchester Evening News indicate that INEOS is exploring potential replacements for ten Hag if they decide to make a change.

Brighton manager De Zerbi is reportedly one of the options considered by United, and he is also speculated to be among the candidates to replace Pep Guardiola at Manchester City in the future.

In response to these reports, Fabrizio Romano clarified in his Daily Briefing that there is no concrete basis to these rumors. He emphasized that Manchester United is giving ten Hag the time and space to develop his football and ideas. Romano also mentioned the positive relationship between ten Hag and INEOS.

He stressed the importance of ten Hag maintaining high performance levels in the coming months.

While recent results have sparked fresh speculation about ten Hag’s future, Manchester United had enjoyed a four-game winning streak before their defeat to Fulham.

However, injuries, including one to in-form striker Rasmus Hojlund, have presented challenges for the team.
