News has emerged that Manchester United is already considering the time to replace coach Erik ten Hach.

England's Football Insider reported on the 9th (Korea time) 'Manchester United may not fire Ten Hag until the January transfer window.

Manchester United has been struggling under Ten Hach this season. Ten Hag retained his position as Manchester United manager with a dramatic FA Cup win at the end of last season, but he is under pressure to be dismissed due to his performance that still failed to rebound earlier this season. Manchester United, which is already in 14th place in the league, has no victory in the last five games in the 0-0 draw against Aston Villa. This contrasts with other big six clubs, including Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea, who have already finished first to fourth.

Manchester United's leadership is also a concern. Since he signed his contract with Ten Hag ahead of this season, there are many issues to consider from penalty to reorganization of the team if he decides to replace him right away. However, considering Manchester United's recent performance, it is not awkward to replace Ten Hach immediately. Therefore, it was reported that discussions took place at a recent executive meeting on whether Ten Hag would remain as a supervisor.

Owner Jim Ratcliffe told the BBC last time that "I like Ten Hach. I think he's a very good coach, but I don't make the decision. The management that runs Manchester United must decide how best to run the team in many areas," he said, adding that he would make the best decision through executive meetings.



However, a clear decision will be made even after the executive meeting on the 8th, and Ten Hag is expected to remain as a manager for the time being. Earlier, David Onstein, a reporter for The Athletic, who boasts the highest public confidence in the transfer market, has yet to decide to fire Ten Hach. Manchester United are calm now and want Ten Hach to keep the team in charge. They have certainly invested. Of course, the tension is growing, and a lot of attention is being paid to it,' he said, adding that Manchester United will not decide to be replaced immediately.

Ten Hach also went on vacation without much worry, perhaps out of confidence that he would keep his seat. British media reported that `Ten Haah went on holiday with confidence that Manchester United would not dismiss him during the October A-match period'Ten Haah spoke with executives after the Aston Villa draw and reportedly did not feel that he would be dismissed'



However, there were talks about when Manchester United could decide to replace Ten Hag, if not immediately. If Manchester United does not rebound before that period, it does not seem easy for Ten Hag to maintain his managerial position.

Football Insider predicted that former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown would replace the manager before the January transfer window. Ten Hag's future at Manchester United's executive meeting was reportedly one of the main topics of discussion. Brown insisted that top-notch managers would want to sign players immediately if they came to Manchester United.

Brown said "The new managers will be determined by the transfer market and what changes they can choose. I was told that maybe the club wanted to wait until closer to January before making a decision on Ten Hach. If so, the new coach can exert influence in the transfer market. Ideally it will be the Christmas period, and once United make the decision, the new manager could bring in the player he wants in January"Ten Hach's replacement claimed that Christmas could be a watershed moment.

Meanwhile, if Ten Hach leaves Manchester United, a candidate to head coach instead is also being discussed. The first candidate whose name was mentioned is Thomas Tuchel, who also appeared last summer.

Tuchel left Bayern at the end of last season and has been unemployed since this summer. However, his popularity is still not small. When he left Bayern, several clubs, including the England national team, showed interest in appointing him, and Manchester United were known to be the most active team among them, but the appointment did not actually take place, with Ten Hach remaining as manager.

Manchester Evening News is also considering Tuchel as a leading replacement for Ten Hach. Tuchel also received United's attention last summer and is not in the squad since leaving Bayern. The fact that Tuchel can be appointed immediately is a great attraction for Manchester United. Manchester United's leadership said the meeting will be held, and Ten Hag is also expected to talk about it.

Tuchel is not the end of the race. Graham Potter, who was one of England's representative young masters, was also named in the candidate list. England's team talk explained that 'Potter is getting Manchester United's attention, and now he is getting a lot of attention from several clubs, so Manchester United should beat them to recruit him.

Ten Hach appears to be a little out of a serious hard-hitting crisis. However, if it fails to bring results that will convince the club's leadership before Christmas, the pressure to replace him will continue to threaten Ten Hag's position.
