Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag still faces an uncertain future at the club.

The Dutch manager’s future at the club was sorted in the summer after the end of last season.

The Red Devils hierarchy indulged in talks with other managers to replace Ten Hag but ultimately decided to keep the former Ajax manager at the club and offered him a contract extension.

With his team off to a disappointing start this season, questions have been raised about his future and his ability to lead Man United again.

According to Inter Live, Man United could consider Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi as Ten Hag’s replacement.

The Italian manager won the Serie A title with Inter Milan last season and also took the Italian giants to the Champions League final in 2023.

Inzaghi is considered one of the best tacticians in the game at the moment and with limited resources, he has done an amazing job with the Serie A outfit, making them a competitive team.

The Premier League giants could consider him as Ten Hag’s replacement at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils are currently 11th in the league, having won just five points from their first five matches of the season.

Ten Hag has found it difficult to get results once again, with the Dutch manager only guiding the team to wins against Fulham, Southampton and Barnsley this season and failing to win the other matches.

Man United have struggled to get going this season

Defeats against Brighton and Liverpool, while a draw against Crystal Palace have shown that a lot of work still needs to be done before the Dutch manager can make the Red Devils a consistent team.

It does not get easier for Man United and Ten Hag as they face Tottenham in their next Premier League match.

Inzaghi in the Premier League would be a huge risk as the manager has no experience of managing outside Italy, however, his tactical acumen and ability to make his team perform in difficult situations has been recognised throughout Europe.
