According to recent reports, Manchester United has been actively exploring options to potentially replace their current manager, Erik ten Hag, during the international break. Journalist Tancredi Palmeri shared on social media that “Frantic contacts are ongoing at Manchester United to decide whether to proceed with a change of coach during the break.”
In a surprising development, Palmeri further claimed that the Premier League giants had made a concrete offer to Inter Milan’s head coach, Simone Inzaghi. The report suggests that Manchester United approached Inzaghi with the proposition to take over immediately during the international pause. However, it appears that the Italian tactician has turned down the opportunity.
“Manchester United offered the bench to Simone Inzaghi in recent days to take over immediately during the break, but Inzaghi declined,” Palmeri stated.
This news comes amidst growing speculation about Ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford, following a challenging start to the season for Manchester United. The Dutch manager has faced increasing pressure due to inconsistent performances and results.
Inzaghi’s reported rejection of the offer indicates his commitment to his current project at Inter Milan, where he has enjoyed considerable success. The Italian coach has led Inter to multiple domestic trophies and a Champions League final appearance since taking charge in 2021.
While Manchester United’s alleged approach to Inzaghi suggests the club is seriously considering a managerial change, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in the coming days. The international break often serves as a period of reflection and potential action for clubs facing managerial uncertainties.
As of now, Ten Hag remains at the helm of Manchester United, but the reported search for alternatives implies that his position may be under serious review by the club’s hierarchy.
