Man Utd consider former Dortmund manager Edin Terzic to replace Ten Hag – with Tuchel and Van Nistelrooy also in contention

EDIN TERZIC is the shock name on Manchester United’s shortlist to replace Erik ten Hag.

German Terzic led Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final last season before surprisingly withdrawing.

He has many admirers at Old Trafford and it would be a smart but unexpected move to go after him if they sack Ten Hag.

Terzic, 41, trained in England, where he was friends with fellow United target Graham Potter, and then worked as Slaven Bilic’s No2 at West Ham.

He rose to the top in Germany during two spells at Dortmund before leaving the club in June.

United are currently reviewing Ten Hag’s position and have looked at the likes of Potter and Gareth Southgate, while former Chelsea and former Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel is on their radar.

The option of promoting club legend and current coach Ruud van Nistelrooy is also a possibility.

Terzic graduated from the FA coaching course alongside former United players Nicky Butt and Nemanja Vidic in 2018.

United are 14th in the Prem and Ten Hag is clinging to his position after club bosses held a SEVEN-HOUR summit in London last Tuesday to discuss his future.

The 54-year-old Dutchman is on a short holiday and is confident he will still be in charge for Saturday’s visit to Brentford.

But there has been no confirmation from the club as to whether this will be the case.

Two current Prem bosses will also be in contention should the Red Devils call time on Ten Hag.

Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna, who was Old Trafford manager under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Bees manager Thomas Frank have caught the attention of Old Trafford bosses.

Simone Inzaghi, from Inter Milan, and Ruben Amorim, coach of Sporting Lisbon, were also mentioned.
