Erik ten Hag's future is under threat after a disappointing season and the ex-Manchester United winger has had his say on who should be in charge
Former Manchester United and England winger Lee Sharpe has named the manager he thinks should be given the job of leading the club next season.
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos are assessing the Dutchman's future and weighing up a series of potential candidates to replace Ten Hag. Among the options is England manager Gareth Southgate, who is admired by Ineos sporting director Sir Dave Brailsford and the incoming United sporting director Dan Ashworth.
"He isn’t positive or attacking enough for United, he’s too safe and sensible – I’m not sure he’s the right fit. At the moment he is picking from the best crop of players in the world with England and he certainly wouldn’t have it that easy at Manchester United. Despite questioning whether the size of the task is too much for Ten Hag, Sharpe believes he should be backed this summer and stay in charge for at least another season.
"I think it is time to nail down the manager, give him money to spend and give him a few years to progress without having to worry about being sacked.
