Who will take over as next manager?

The Erik ten Hag experiment at Manchester United is over, and, once again, the club is on the lookout for its next manager. Under the Dutchman, United did not have a clear identity, and that showed both offensively and defensively. United is amid its worst start to a Premier League campaign in its history. The recent loss to West Ham United put the Ten Hag’s Red Devils at three wins, two draws and an astounding four losses for 11 points and 14th in the table. Despite winning the FA Cup and the EFL Cup, Manchester United executives could not bear more of these struggles.

For now, Ruud Van Nistelrooy will take over in an interim role. The former United icon as a striker and manager of PSV Eindhoven has decent experience as a coach considering he only retired 12 years ago. He was the manager at PSV Eindhoven for one season in 2022/23. There, he won the Johan Cruyff Shield, which is the equivalent of the Community Shield, and the KNVB Cup, the Dutch version of the FA Cup. He resigned from the role just before the end of the season, then he joined the Manchester United coaching staff under Ten Hag before the current campaign.

Barring a miraculous turnaround under Van Nistelrooy, he is likely not the permanent successor. Given the present opportunity, Van Nistelrooy has a chance to impress. Manchester United still has the Europa League league phase and the early going in the Premier League.

However, United is turning its attention to other managers that would fit the club. Here are five that Manchester United will be in the market for over the coming weeks as it needs its next permanent manager.
