According to writer Rudy Galetti, Bologna manager Thiago Motta has emerged as a potential contender to replace Ten as Manchester United manager, given INEOS’s continued dominance at Old Trafford.
While United’s season hasn’t exactly gone off the rails so far, anything may happen before the campaign comes to a close. In addition to the prospect of qualifying for European football, the Red Devils still have a shot at winning the FA Cup.
With less than a month to go before the semester ends, Erik ten Hag will surely be under intense pressure to produce results.
Motta Eyed as Potential Man Utd Prospect
A ‘precarious’ situation persists for Ten Hag.
Tribal Football’s Italian correspondent Galetti has said that United boss ten Hag’s status is still “precarious,” and the Red Devils have looked into Motta’s condition.
“For Mason [Greenwood], a lot will also depend on Erik Ten Hag: his position remains precarious and United – among others – explored also the situation of Thiago Motta, more inclined to an experience outside Italy if he doesn’t stay at Bologna.”
With his’sensational’ managerial style, Motta would infuse Old Trafford with a new energy and enthusiasm. With an unusual 2-7-2 formation that is “breaking football” according to GIVEMESPORT’s detailed explanation of his sophisticated approach, the Italian team has been playing remarkably well in Serie A.
The current standings see Bologna in fourth position, four points ahead of Roma in fifth. After more than 20 years without competing in Europe, Motta seems to be leading the Italian team back into the Champions League. Given his impressive performance in his brief management tenure, United may face competition from other clubs for his signing.
Ben Jacobs, a journalist, has informed GIVEMESPORT that Motta is still a strong contender to succeed Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool manager when the current one leaves at the season’s conclusion. If United think Motta is the ideal guy, they may not want to wait around since the Merseyside club is set to make a choice soon.
