England is emphatically taking into account the imminent departure of Manchester United.
It is slowly starting to look like defeat to Liverpool will cost Solskjaer’s job. However, the discontent within the club runs deeper, as Manchester United are already eight points behind leaders Chelsea after only nine games. Manchester United also suffered a painful defeat in the Champions League last month, when the Young Boys in Bern were 2-1 too strong for Solskjaer’s side. After it remained relatively quiet from Old Trafford on Monday and mainly internal conversations were held, more should become clear in the course of Tuesday.

However, Solskjaer will initially ‘just’ appear on the training field on Tuesday to prepare Manchester United for the next game against Tottenham Hotspur, the Norwegian says. Newspaper TV.
Solskjaer’s successor is already waiting in the wings. Romano and Di Marzio report that Conte is ready to join Manchester United. The Italian coach – clubless since leaving Internazionale six months ago and previously working for Chelsea in England – isn’t a big fan of stepping in at some point mid-season, but Manchester United are currently the only club he would put that thought aside for want to put. There will be no official talks or an offer until club management has made a decision on Solskjaer’s future.
Romano put Monday in his Lord We Gopodcast has already ruled out the suggestion that Ajax coach Erik ten Hag could start working at Manchester United. “You may also say that because of his style. I agree that with his style Ten Hag is the perfect person to build something for the long term at Manchester United. But Ajax is doing great. They have done a great job. against PSV and Borussia Dortmund. Ten Hag is building something beautiful with Ajax. It is also a matter of respect. In the summer, Ten Hag spoke with Tottenham Hotspur, but he was respectful. Ajax therefore decided to sign him a new contract and he signed that. It would be very disrespectful to leave in October and that is not Ten Hag’s style. Also because of his relationship with Marc Overmars, I do not see that happening anytime soon.”
