Manchester United set to miss out on two more potential Erik ten Hag replacements | OneFootball

Manchester United’s woeful campaign has left Erik ten Hag under huge pressure to save his position at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag has suffered badly in his second season in charge and failing to finish in the top four alongside an embarrassing early exit from the Champions League has put pressure on INEOS to make a change.

However, with the managerial merry-go-round in full swing this summer, the pool of potential suitors is quickly dwindling.

As reported by fichajes.com, two coaches on INEOS’ shortlist to replace the Dutchman are set to take jobs on the continent in the coming weeks.

First, ex-Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is on the verge of returning to the dug-out in Serie A with last year’s runaway champions, Napoli.

Conte is expected to receive a salary of €6.5 million per season in Naples and will be tasked with restoring some pride to the club who have suffered an awful campaign this time out, looking unlikely to finish any higher than eighth place.

Additionally, former Wolves coach Julen Lopetegui is “one step away” from joining Conte in Italy by taking over at AC Milan, who have been beaten to the Scudetto by arch-rivals Inter this season.

The Spaniard has held positive discussions with the Rossoneri and is favouring a move to Milan despite interest from clubs across Europe.

With two more well respected coaches now seemingly off the market, INEOS will be aware of the need to make a decision quickly on the future of their current head coach.

Despite having to contend with a long list of injuries throughout the season, Ten Hag’s apparent inability to change his style of play has left fans bemused as they watch opponents continuously slice United open week-on-week.

However, amidst the chaos the Dutchman has managed to steer United to a second successive FA Cup final which many feel represents the last chance Ten Hag to save his skin, in Manchester.

Before then, United must navigate their last four Premier League fixtures as they bid to secure a place in next season’s Europa League, before they travel to Wembley on May 25.
