Manchester United considers Edin Terzić as Erik ten Hag’s successor

As reported by Bild, Manchester United are considering appointing former Borussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzić as Erik ten Hag’s successor should they decide to part ways with the Dutchman.

Ten Hag is understood to be under significant pressure at Old Trafford after overseeing United’s worst start to the Premier League campaign – taking just eight points from seven league games.

Furthermore, the report explains that Terzić has a number of supporters within the United hierarchy, but remains unlikely to be the club’s number one option.

This is because Terzić would face considerable competition for the top job at Old Trafford, with Thomas Tuchel, Gareth Southgate and Ruud van Nistelrooy the current favorites to replace Ten Hag.

However, the 41-year-old has Premier League experience, having been part of Slaven Bilić’s coaching team at West Ham United between 2015 and 2017.

Regardless, there is still no guarantee that the Red Devils will part ways with ten Hag due to a reportedly sky-high severance package.

It is believed Dutcham will leave the Theater of Dreams with a payment of €25 million, meaning club insiders are willing to offer the head coach more time to turn around United’s fortunes.
