Former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann is set to assume the managerial position at a surprising Premier League club.

Amid ongoing rumors surrounding Erik ten Hag’s tenure at Old Trafford, Manchester United may soon face a difficult decision regarding their managerial situation.

 

Injuries have played a role in United’s struggles this season, leaving them eight points away from a top-four spot in the league with ten games remaining.

 

Reports suggest that Ten Hag’s position is under heightened scrutiny due to the club’s new football hierarchy.

 

The Manchester Evening News reports that Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos Group has been assessing potential managers in anticipation of a possible managerial change in the coming months.

 

Julian Nagelsmann, the former Bayern Munich coach, is reportedly being considered as a potential successor. Nagelsmann is currently preparing to lead Germany in the upcoming 2024 European Championship.

 

According to Sky Sport Germany, Nagelsmann intends to return to club management after the European Championship, aiming to make a public announcement about his next move before the tournament begins.

 

This timing would allow Nagelsmann to focus solely on the German national team without distractions during the tournament.

 

Nagelsmann’s potential appointment could impact the pre-season plans of any club interested in hiring him, including Manchester United. Despite this, United would still consider Ten Hag’s future, even if they opt to replace him at the end of the current season.

 

The inconsistent performance of Manchester United since the INEOS group’s takeover has led to speculation about a potential managerial change.

 

However, Ten Hag’s future may also depend on the club’s financial situation. The cost of terminating Ten Hag’s contract could be as high as ten million pounds, which could lead United to retain him while they navigate their Financial Fair Play (FFP) situation.

 

United recently reported a 23% increase in their wage bill for the second quarter, partly due to their early exit from the 2023–24 Champions League.
