Manchester United hold talks with Kieran McKenna’s representatives to appoint him as new manager | OneFootball

Manchester United have held talks with Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna to replace Erik ten Hag.

While there has been no official statement from United regarding plans to replace Ten Hag, the club’s engagement with McKenna suggests that they are weighing their options.

The meeting involved key United officials, including chief executive Omar Berrada and technical director Jason Wilcox.

This development comes amid ongoing uncertainty regarding Ten Hag’s position, particularly with United’s eighth-place finish in the Premier League and the looming FA Cup final against Manchester City.

Sky Sports News reports that McKenna, currently managing Ipswich Town, is also on Chelsea’s shortlist to replace Mauricio Pochettino, highlighting his growing reputation within top-tier football circles.

Despite the growing interest, Ipswich Town are keen to retain McKenna.

In a statement to Sky, the club made it clear that they want him to continue leading the team in their Premier League campaign.

This firm stance reflects McKenna’s integral role in the club’s recent successes and their reluctance to part ways with a manager who has delivered remarkable results.

The coming days could be pivotal for United and McKenna alike.

The FA Cup final outcome might significantly influence United’s decision regarding Ten Hag’s future.
