Manchester United have been urged to replace Erik ten Hag with Jose Mourinho for two clear reasons as they should “forget Gareth Southgate”.
Ten Hag is nearing the end of his second season at Man Utd, and he is unlikely to get a third year as it is being widely reported that he will be sacked in the summer.
The Dutchman’s debut season at Old Trafford was pretty successful but this campaign has been miserable for Man Utd. They have reached the FA Cup final, but they were prematurely knocked out of the Champions League and the Carabao Cup, while they sit eighth in the Premier League.
An already terrible season hit a new low on Monday night as the Red Devils suffered a demoralizing 4-0 loss at the hands of Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Could Mourinho return to Man Utd?
Ten Hag hopes “common sense” will prevail when Man Utd’s hierarchy decides whether to sack him in the summer.
When asked by reporters if he is concerned that he could be sacked even if Man Utd win the FA Cup, he replied: “No, I think they have common sense.
“They see when you have 32 different backlines, when you lose eight centre-backs, if they see we use 13 partnerships at centre-halves.
