Manchester United are one of the biggest and most successful clubs in the world. Some of their honours include 20 League titles, 12 FA Cups, 6 League Cups, and an impressive 21 FA Community Shields. Man Utd have also won the European Cup and UEFA Champions League three times each, and the UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the Intercontinental Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup once.
The role of manager at Manchester United is one of the most demanding in football. Nothing other than success in the Premier League and major European competitions is acceptable which has lead to several departures since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.
Manchester United are currently in search of a new permanent manager for the club following Erik ten Hag’s departure in October 2024.
Erik ten Hag is a Dutch football manager who was appointed as manager of Manchester United in April 2022 following the sacking of Ralf Rangnick.
Ten Hag was born on February 2, 1970, in Haaksbergen, Netherlands and began his coaching career in the Netherlands, working with various youth teams before becoming the assistant coach at FC Twente in 2012. He was later promoted to head coach and led the team to a KNVB Cup victory in the 2016-17 season.
In December 2017, Ten Hag was appointed as the head coach of Ajax Amsterdam, one of the most successful and storied clubs in Dutch football history. In his first season, he led the team to the KNVB Cup and reached the semi-finals of the Europa League. In his second season, he guided Ajax to the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they were narrowly defeated by Tottenham Hotspur.
On 21st April, 2023, Ten Hag was announced as the new manager of Manchester United. He was appointed following the departure of Ralf Rangnick who took on an interim manager role six-month prior. However, after two-and-a-half years in charge, ten Hag left his role following a string of poor results which left Man Utd 14th in the Premier League, and just seven points above the relegation zone.
Following Erik ten Hag’s departure from the club, there are several individuals in the running to replace him.

The bookies favourite to take over from Erik ten Hag as manager of Manchester United is Sporting Lisbon manager Rúben Amorim.
At 39, Amorim represents a fresh option for United, with recent recent managerial changes having struggled with consistency and meeting the club’s high standards.
Reports suggest that Amorim is open to the Manchester United role, a job he reportedly views as a huge opportunity. The club’s talks with Amorim are progressing, and he is said to have agreed in principle to the position, although an official appointment has yet to be announced .
Sir Alex Ferguson was manager of Manchester United for almost 27 years but since his departure in 2013 the club has had six managers take charge.
