England manager Gareth Southgate is being considered for Manchester United’s managerial position along with Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi. United’s new co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is contemplating the potential replacement of Erik ten Hag for the next season.

The club’s poor performance has led to speculation about Ten Hag’s future. Southgate set to conclude his tenure with the England national team this summer is among the candidates. Frank’s success with Brentford despite recent struggles and De Zerbi’s achievements with Brighton make them attractive options.

Ten Hag could still salvage his position by leading United to success in the Champions League and FA Cup. Ratcliffe has not provided specific comments on Ten Hag’s future but hinted at addressing the overall environment at the club. The decision is part of INEOS assessment since their recent partial takeover of Manchester United.
