1999 Treble winner Dwight Yorke has advised the Red Devils to consider appointing a club legend as the replacement for Erik ten Hag, if the Dutchman is sacked.
ten Hag could be the next Premier League manager to get sacked after Man United’s disastrous performances this season. The Red Devils are eighth in the Premier League and already out of the Champions League and the Carabao Cup.
INEOS chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe is expected to keep ten Hag at the club at least until the end of the season. However, if results go against them the mood at the club could change quickly.
Dwight Yorke suggests that Ratcliffe and Man United chiefs should contemplate appointing a former player as interim manager until they finalize their decision on a permanent successor, in case the former Ajax manager is sacked.
Yorke told Footy Accumulators: “I don’t see any benefit of appointing Wayne Rooney in a caretaker role should Ten Hag get sacked.
“Wazza shouldn’t be put in that position – especially before me!
“The club may have to consider putting a club legend in charge on an interim basis, but I think Zinedine Zidane is the only option the board should seriously consider right now.
“Look at the stature he has in the game and what he achieved at Real Madrid.”
Yorke continued: “There aren’t too many other options out there – a lot of them have already had their chance.
“People are saying Graham Potter should take over, but he’s already had a chance at an elite club.
“Managers from smaller clubs should always grab the opportunity to take over a huge club at United. Elite clubs have bigger revenues, players, and expectations, and managers should jump at the chance.
“People say the pressure is huge, but that’s just part of the expectation. Everything is better at a big club.
“Those arriving from smaller clubs should aim to go forward instead of backward. Graham Potter had the chance at Chelsea, and I don’t think he’d suddenly succeed at Man United. He was a failure at Chelsea and he didn’t capitalise.”
Yorke added Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi as a possible successor to ten Hag:
“I think Roberto De Zerbi may have a chance, but that remains to be seen.
“He’s one name to consider, but everybody else has had their chance. I don’t see anybody outside of Zidane and De Zerbi.”
This guy has the best advise for the club if put on the table
True
The only problem with man utd is that they have little faith on former players as managers, they chased Carrick and now look at the work he is doing at Middlesbrough
Why manchester United can’t take Giggs back?
Why don’t they go for the Ipswich manager who he was under alex ferguson
I think alegend is the best option .united must have alot patience with the coach that will come after ten hag Rooney s sprit as coach will
Benefit us .we have to win trophies
I am fed up with changing managers at utd please just sought this famous club out I been a man utd fan since I was 5 years old thank you
Correct everyone expects overnight success but failed to realize sir alex took time to an empire
Totally true. This must be sorted out. We are going through managers like underwear.
Yes ! I know your plan will work manchester United must sack eric ten heng with a goal keeper onana those 2 they are the one whose killing a team
Ole invested in young players for the future beyond his tenure eg Amad, Facundo, Hannibal, Zidane Iqbal, Sancho, Hansen Aaronen just to name.
A visinless Ten Hag has freezed their development, gone ahead and spent close to pounds 300 million on injury prone flops like Anthony. Malacia, Mount, Amrabat, Reguilon, Onana with no clear structure where they fit and so his house of cards has crumbled!
He has no excuse and for sure Sancho was a scape goat. He can’t improve players instead they either injury prone or simply regress
Zinedine Zifanye Or Carrick should be recruited ASAP.
If you wait for eric ten heng until the end of this season then Manchester United will go worse why the board can’t sack him right now ? If they can’t sack eric ten heng meaning the board want manchester United not to win or to qualify at uefa ,, don’t tell the supporter or fans that we have to wait to be sacked end of the season no, that’s wrong, but you see yourself the team really going dow or worse but you still wait ,,,wait for what meaning the board like manchester United to go down as well
Yes! Eric ten heng must pack and go no improvement at United, if you realise all players he brought at Manchester United all of them is useless that’s why those players they came to infect others ,,look at anthony he can’t cross any single ball but you are waiting rashford to score a ball how if a striker get power or a ball from winger? No,, that coach must pack an go plus onana please fans share this,, how you can sell degea to bring onana as first manchester United goalkeeper are we made? Look at onana he is a most weak goalkeeper in england but you still keep him for what? Guys open your mind and your eyes please
Eric ten Hag should have been sack after Forest loss. I agree with Yorky about Zuzous appointment. But for now Michael Carrick is an option for caretaker till end of the season.
Can we please get off the road of sacking managers until we have the board and the recruitment side of things sort out first. And unless we are going to totally change the squad there is little point hiring a manager with a possession based philosophy, this squad cant do it for Ten Hag why would they do it for some other manager.
I couldn’t agree more
Even those he brought are totally out of his culture of play, so by all means tte Manager him self is baby and has to be sacked.
You can’t stop sacking till you get the best, remember how Liverpool and Spurs struggled in sacking time to time. Chelsea is like us still struggling but shall get the best one with time.
Those players he brought here they infect other players if we don’t know,, rashford was playing well under ole matial also was playing well but when his players arrived from ajax to follow eric ten heng really manchester United be come a worse team open up your mind an think about it ,,therefore coach must go even a tactic for Manchester United really you want to cry always they playing behind wich nosense is that , Onana with his coach must go please
Ten hag is not good for united , he has his favourite player’s see how Onana performs, he is useless but keeps using him
Zidane will never come to United while those players are there, only if he gets his own players in.
I think Giggs and Carrick didn’t have a full chance, for they served on interim basis, they deserve to be given a chance, that is to concur with York.
Though I am a Sri Lankan, it is very clear that TH has an ego problem and is not flexible. Get a humble person who can manage various personalities and utilise your young players in the academy without losing out by buying high flyers, who will not fit in
IF YOU WANT TO GET MAN U BACK FIRST OF ALL SELL THE DEAD MIND PLAYER marguire,varan, Evans,casemiro,mctominy, lazy marshal, Anthony vandabek, Sancho.
Michael Carrick should be the first priority Ratcliffe should think about before messing up with some other options available.
It’s only Zidane to save Manchester United
I don’t think thank Graham Potter can change anything because he failed in Chelsea
And on addition to that Manchester United doesn’t need average coaches because it’s abig club
Pliz just fire this useless coach Ten Bond becoz he never played for a club in Champion league. So he lacks vision n he wants destroy our junior policy .We are tired of his nonsense
The culture reset just needs to start up top going down, the culture of players being bigger than the managers and club is whats killing United, Pogba, Maguire was the center on Ole’s team, no team cohesion, Ragnick tried to gut the whole system, Mou had his ego clash with Pogba, ETH is in a conundrum of we need a win,he lost his marbles trying to instill after the defeats, we just need restructuring up top and less player power
Again my argument is to give him time and support him.ih not ole ole……
Man u have too many legends want to control the current manager , Wayne Rooney now recently was appointed the manager of Birmingham, the club was at 6th position and went all the way down to 20th, it’s a disgusting, disgrace, all they know is talk to much, the club led all the best players go Fred, Anthony the French player go
I wonder what Giggsy saw in Eric ten Hag (EtH) when they first met in Hollard. EtH has failed his audition and should be replaced before things go worse. We might as well miss out on fifth position if he is kept upto end of season. Plus Man Utd shouldn’t even sign any more players before EtH is replaced and his signings shown the door.
No excuse to keep going with ETH. He is stubborn for no reason and without any merit. What difference it would have made if I was the Manager instead of ETH?
