Manchester United have named a potential replacement for Erik Ten Hag if he gets sacked by the club.

Erik Ten Hag's position as Man United manager is under scrutiny following the team's bad performance last season.

The Red Devils are still deliberating on the manager's position despite leading the team to their 13th FA Cup title.

It has been reported that if Ten Hag leaves Man United, Roberto De Zerbi will be the potential replacement for the Dutch manager.

According to the Guardian, Ten Hag is expected to be fired, and it is understood that United have contacted De Zerbi about taking over for him.

De Zerbi announced his departure from Brighton on mutual consent at the end of the just concluded season.

The Italian, who is now a free agent has been linked to Bayern Munich but could be on his way to Man United if Ten Hag leaves.

The other candidates shortlisted to succeed Ten Hag are Thomas Tuchel, Kieran McKenna, Mauricio Pochettino, and Thomas Frank.

Ratcliffe is open to considering any of the possibilities, but Tuchel was formerly the front-runner to succeed Ten Hag.

This week, Ten Hag will find out for sure if he will be fired from his position after the Ineos millionaire leads a season assessment.

The 54-year-old's job is at risk following a miserable season in which United placed eighth, their lowest ever in the Premier League.
