Manchester United, a prestigious English Premier League (EPL), is suffering from rumors of the replacement of its coach these days.

Rumors of the replacement of coach Erik ten Hag (54) are once again being discussed. This is due to the recent poor performance. Manchester United has only seven points in six games this season. I've already lost three games. The ranking is 13th. Manchester United, which remained in eighth place last season, the worst ever after being reorganized into the English Premier League, is even more sluggish in the new season.

In particular, the sixth round defeat against Tottenham at home on the 30th of last month (Korea time) poured fuel on angry public opinion. On this day, Tottenham was not in normal power, with captain and captain Son Heung-min missing. Manchester United, on the other hand, sent out all the main players. It was a favorable atmosphere for Manchester United, but the result was a 0-3 defeat.

United struggled with Tottenham's systematic pressure throughout the game. Manchester United, who gave Brennan Johnson the first goal three minutes into the game, then went for the equalizer, but they could not penetrate Tottenham's defense with a grain of sand. Manchester United, which made a series of mistakes during the build-up process, was further twisted by the exit of captain Bruno Fernandes at the end of the first half. Manchester United suffered a crushing defeat in the second half, conceding two more goals.

Local media in the UK have begun to pour out various criticisms against coach Ten Hach. In addition, as former soccer stars and enthusiastic fans joined the criticism, public opinion seems to be on the decline.

"Dutch Legend" Marco van Basten (60) criticized Ten Haq for "It is foolish how much Ten Haq decided to invest in players who are not even the right players.

Wesley Snyder, 40, from the same Dutch star, mocked Manchester United for two more games to buy Ten Hach time to find a job.

Before Manchester United's leadership recently made a decision on the future of coach Hen Haach, it was a hint of local media reports that they would wait until the A-match break after two league games.

In the meantime, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is currently the head coach at Manchester United, Simone Inzaghi, who led Inter Milan to the championship, and Gareth Southgate, the coach who opened the era of success for the English national team, were appointed as successful candidates.

Here, head coach Van Nistelrooy (48) began to emerge as the most likely, and there was a good reason. British media Daily Star said on the 2nd (Korea time) that Van Nistelrooy is receiving more support in the dressing room and is popular with players and fans.

The Daily Star predicts that Manchester United players will welcome Van Nistelrooy's appointment as the next manager if Ten Hach is fired.

Taleista added that in the event of Ten Hach's dismissal, the team will reportedly ask the club's leaders to appoint Van Nistelrooy as their successor.

Van Nistelrooy is also said to be in a position that he is `open' to replacing the successor's manager position, although it is burdensome for Ten Haach, who is from the same Netherlands, to be replaced.

Van Nistelrooy is a legendary striker. He is a player who succeeded the striker genealogy produced by the Netherlands and also a person who shone in the 2000s. He appeared like a comet at PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands and won the Dutch Eredivisie top scorer and player of the year twice, respectively. After dominating Eredivisie and becoming a member of the Dutch national team, he moved to Manchester United.

He played for Manchester United for five years from 2001. Before Wayne Rooney, he was Manchester United's main gun and beat Thierry Henry to become the Premier League's top scorer. He scored 149 goals in 217 games.

Van Nistelrooy played with Park Ji-sung and Manchester United, and after moving to Hamburg, he played with Son Heung-min (Tottenham), which is deeply related to Korean big stars.

After transforming into a leader, he won the Dutch Cup even after finishing second in the league in the 2022-2023 season at PSV. Despite his good performance, Nistelroy, who was a wild man after a season due to friction with the club's secretariat, shook off Burnley's love call and joined the Ten Hag division.
