Erik Ten Hag’s sacking from Manchester United was a long time overdue. And with their poor result against West Ham at the London Stadium seemingly being the last straw, the Dutch Manager has finally been sacked by the Man United board. The Mancunian club are stranded at 14th place closer to the relegation spots than the European places in the Premier League table at the end of Matchweek 9.
At such a critical juncture in their season, bringing in a New Manager who will pull them out of the ditches in the short term and take them back to their glorious years of the past is a very difficult task. But for sure there are many nominees for the position of coaching the Biggest Club in England. So let’s take a look at 2 such names who Manchester United should appoint to win big trophies.
3 Managers Who Can Save Manchester United
1. Ruud Van Nistelrooy
The Assistant to Erik Ten Hag, Ruud Van Nistelrooy could very well take up the reigns of the Red Devils as an interim manager, should they choose to wait a bit longer to decide who will be their new head coach. If Manchester United start performing well under Ruud Van Nistelrooy he could very well be given a chance to prove himself as the next head coach of the Manchester club.
The 48-year-old Dutchman might not have been Ten Hag’s assistant for long, but surely has immense coaching experience. He guided PSV Eindhoven to a Dutch Cup during his time in the Eredivisie as their Head Coach.
2. Xavi Hernandez
The former Barcelona boss has been out of work since getting sacked at the end of the season by Barcelona. There have been reports suggesting that a Man United contingent had travelled to have a word with the Former Spanish international over the last few weeks. With more than 4 years of Managerial experience under his belt, first at Al Sadd then at Barcelona, and having one of the best IQs in Football history, Xavi Hernandez could be the man who leads United to Glory.
And he is no stranger to adversity as well. Back when he joined Barca as their head coach, the Catalonian club was placed 9th in La Liga. In 5 months, he finished the league second only behind Real Madrid. Then the following year, even with all the financial problems that Barcelona were facing, Xavi won La Liga in only his 1st full year at the club as well as winning the Supercopa de Espana.
