Coaches who could replace Erik ten Hag

Briefly News earlier listed four coaches who could replace Erik ten Hag if Man United decides to fire him.

First-team coach Ruud van Nistelrooy is the leading candidate alongside former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, who is jobless.

The Red Devils have had a difficult start to the season, and their draw at home to FC Twente in the Europa League raised more questions about the manager. The former Ajax coach was on the brink last season, but the FA Cup bought him some time.
