This could be the coach to replace Ten Hag at Manchester United

The start of the 2023/24 season has been difficult for Manchester United. They had many conflicts off the field, such as the police investigations of Antony for alleged domestic violence, the quarrel between coach Erik Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho and the alleged fights between players of the squad after the defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion.

And that's not all. On the pitch things have also been difficult, as the team's performances were far from expectations and they have lost many important matches, especially Old Trafford. In addition, the start in Champions League Group A was abysmal, with defeats against Bayern Munich and Galatasaray.

In this context, last week it was confirmed that the owners agreed to sell 25% of the club to Sir Jim Ratcliffe for $1.6 billion. He will apparently be in charge of soccer-related decisions, including the choice of manager.

According to The Sun, Sir Dave Brailsford is set to be the soccer face of the takeover. And he is a big fan of Graham Potter. The 48-year-old English coach worked at Ostersunds FK in Sweden, Swansea City and Brighton & Hove Albion. There he did a great job and earned the recognition and admiration of many fans. This allowed him to arrive last season at Chelsea, but there things did not go well and he was axed after only 31 games. Nevertheless, Brialsford admires his work and has already tried to sign him for Nice of France.

They are not the only ones interested in him

In addition to these rumors linking him to Manchester United, Graham Potter is apparently also being targeted by another important team in Europe: Napoli. The recent Serie A champions changed coaches this summer, as Luciano Spaletti left for the Italian national team and Rudi Garcia arrived as his replacement. But things are not going well this season and rumor has it that there may soon be a change of coach.
