Manchester United are on the verge of a managerial shake-up this summer, as current head coach Erik ten Hag has reportedly lost the confidence of the club’s leadership. Live Cricket BPL sources confirm that this transition is part of a broader overhaul involving not just the squad, but also senior management and coaching personnel.
When Sir Jim Ratcliffe first took charge of football operations at United, he placed significant trust in Ten Hag. However, the team’s underwhelming performances over time, coupled with mounting external pressure, have forced a shift in direction. Tensions between Ten Hag and key players—including Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Alejandro Garnacho—have only fueled the internal rift. His particularly strained and public fallout with Sancho drew harsh criticism from Ratcliffe, who reportedly believes Ten Hag’s man-management has been too rigid and counterproductive.
After a string of disappointing results, United’s board has made the decision to part ways with Ten Hag. In response, the club has already lined up Thomas Tuchel—currently departing from Bayern Munich—as their next manager. Given the limited availability of elite coaches this summer, Tuchel has emerged as United’s top target. With an impressive track record across multiple top clubs and a Champions League title under his belt with Chelsea, Tuchel’s experience makes him a highly desirable candidate.
Live Cricket BPL insiders say this could be a timely move for both parties. Tuchel is reportedly enthusiastic about the opportunity, drawn by the club’s deep squad and the new leadership’s professionalism. Despite United’s recent struggles, the core of the squad remains strong, offering Tuchel a promising foundation. With fan expectations at an all-time low after two turbulent years, the German tactician will likely be afforded time and freedom to rebuild.
United are prepared to offer Tuchel a 1+1 contract—an initial one-year deal with an automatic renewal clause—along with a lucrative salary package comparable to Ten Hag’s. The appointment reflects a more strategic and cautious approach from the club, aiming to avoid further missteps in recruitment and coaching decisions.
Ultimately, Ten Hag’s exit appears inevitable. His strict management style and questionable transfer decisions have undermined his position. As Live Cricket BPL concludes, all eyes will now be on Thomas Tuchel to see whether he can restore the Red Devils to their former glory.
