“Erik ten Hag rime will soon come to an end. Jose Mourinho regrets not winning the League with Manchester United and he plans to do so with the new owners who spoke with him after facing Fernebahce during the Europa League draw”-Jose Mourinho ‘tipped’ to replace Erik ten Hag in sensational Man Utd return that would rock the Premier League after meeting with the Manchester United new owners.
Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is reportedly in the spotlight for a possible return to Old Trafford, potentially as a replacement for the current manager, Erik ten Hag.
This season has been particularly rough for United. They currently sit 12th in the Premier League standings and 21st in the UEFA Europa League. The team has endured harsh losses to rivals Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur and has struggled to hold its ground against clubs like FC Twente and FC Porto.
On Friday, former Chelsea and Aston Villa midfielder Andy Townsend shared his thoughts on talkSPORT, expressing a preference for Mourinho over Ten Hag if he were a Manchester United fan. Townsend said, “I would rather Mourinho was managing Man United right now than Erik ten Hag if I was a United fan.”
However, co-host and United supporter Andy Goldstein had a different view, pointing out the potential baggage Mourinho brings. “I just think he brings a massive cloud with him wherever he goes. It’s great when it’s not your club,” he noted.
Townsend pressed on, emphasizing the club’s grandeur. “United is such a giant club, and I just don’t get it. I thought Ten Hag would be gone by now. Good luck to him; I respect his perseverance, but I don’t see him as the one to get United back to challenging Pep and the rest,” he remarked.
The former Republic of Ireland international added that he’d read an article earlier that day suggesting Mourinho might have been the best choice to follow in Sir Alex Ferguson’s footsteps, given his high profile and trophy success. “It wouldn’t surprise me if he returned and shook things up,” he said.
Ahead of United’s upcoming Premier League game against West Ham United, Ten Hag responded to the situation, saying, “We all have to work together—the players, the coaching staff, and everyone else. When we’re united, we’re a tough team, and we can achieve great things.”
