Ipswich Town majority shareholder in UK for talks over Kieran McKenna’s future | OneFootball

Ipswich Town majority shareholder Ed Schwartz has arrived in the UK for crucial talks with CEO Mark Ashton and manager Kieran McKenna regarding a proposed new deal.

Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth tweeted the same just a few minutes ago.

McKenna is one of the leading candidates to replace Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager according to recent reports.

The 38 year old, who has transformed Ipswich since his appointment, has caught the eye of many due to his tactical acumen and ability to develop young talent.

His potential departure would be a significant blow for Ipswich, who have made considerable progress under his leadership securing back-to-back promotions.

The Irish manager is high on Chelsea’s list to replace Mauricio Pochettino.

However, McKenna is said to be a boyhood Man United fan, and according to The Times, he will wait for United before making his final decision.

INEOS want a young manager who will work within their footballing structure.

The barrage of news come before United’s biggest game of the season – the FA Cup final against rivals Manchester City.

Earlier today The Guardian earlier reported that irrespective of the result, United will sack Ten Hag.

Fans have been left baffled with the strange timing of the news.

Chelsea’s decision to sack Pochettino and approach similar targets seem to have forced United and INEOS to make quick moves.
