Oct 15, 2024

Can Jose Mourinho replace Erik ten Hach. Interesting reports have emerged.

Football Insider said on the 15th (Korea time) "According to sources, Manchester United will replace Ten Hag if they lose two matches against Brentford and Fenerbahce. According to them, Ten Hag is obsessed with the job after a dismal start for Manchester United in the 2024-2025 season," he reported.

The above media outlet stated that "Coach Ten Haach avoided a hard-hitting crisis with draws against Porto and Aston Villa before entering the A-match break. Manchester United is currently 14th in the English Premier League (EPL). This is the worst start since 1992. "If Ten Hach fails to create room for a rebound in the next two games, the replacement will be inevitable," the source added.

Manchester United fans shouted for the replacement of Ten Hach, but contrary to experts' expectations, Ten Hach got out of the crisis more easily than expected. After the Villa match, most of Manchester United's key high-ranking officials gathered in London, England, for regular meetings related to the club's future.

Most predicted that Ten Hach's position was in jeopardy at the news that the replacement of Ten Hach was also put on the agenda at the meeting. Numerous figures, including former Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel and former England coach Gareth Southgate, have been reconnected with Manchester United since the news that head coach Ruud van Nisteloui may be appointed as acting head coach.

Contrary to fans' wishes, Manchester United's leadership has not decided to be replaced. In the meantime, coach Ten Hag is still relaxed, going on a short vacation during the A-match break in October. Ten Hach returned to the club.

The BBC reported on the 14th that "Coach Ten Hach will return to Manchester United's training ground. He will prepare for the home game against Brentford on SaturdayCoach Ten Hach said he was out of the woods this time.

Manchester United's leadership did not replace Ten Hach for now, but Ten Hach is still like a lamp in front of the wind. This is because it is recording its worst start ever since the creation of the EPL in 1992. The current performance is absolutely unacceptable because the combined transfer fee that Manchester United has invested in Coach Ten Haq so far is over 1 trillion won.

Although he avoided replacement during the A-match period, there is also a view that coach Ten Hag will not be able to pass October in the end. This is because the upcoming games are not easy. It is a showdown between Brentford, led by Thomas Frank, who was also nominated for Manchester United's coach last summer, and Fenerbahce, led by master Jose Mourinho.

Brentford have a comfortable record of 10th in the league with 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in the league this season. Manchester United, which is showing weakness in counterattack defense, has a good chance of falling victim to Brentford.

Fenerbahce has definitely changed his team to the point where he has only lost two games since Mourinho took the helm. Looking at the recent atmosphere, it is true that Brentford and Fenerbahce are ahead of Manchester United.

Soccer fans are wondering whether Mourinho will be able to end Ten Hag's Manchester United system. Mourinho led Manchester United from the 2016-2017 season to the 2018-2019 season. At that time, Manchester United won the UEFA Europa League (UEL) and Carabao Cup in the 2016-2017 season with Mourinho. In the 2017-2018 season, Alex Ferguson ranked second in the league for the first time since his retirement.
