Erik ten Hag appears poised to leave Manchester United following a string of poor performances, notably highlighted by their narrow escape against Coventry City over the weekend. This downturn in form has raised the possibility of Graham Potter taking over the managerial reins. United’s recent struggle, exemplified by their near-collapse despite holding a 3-0 lead against the Championship side, mirrors their season-long pattern of conceding late goals. With just one win in their last seven Premier League matches and elimination from European competition, ten Hag’s position is increasingly precarious. Rumors indicate he may be sacked at the season’s end, potentially paving the way for Potter’s appointment, as previously speculated.

The Sky Blues staged a remarkable comeback, forcing extra time and coming close to victory in the 121st minute, only for VAR to disallow Haji Wright’s assist to Victor Torp due to offside.
Key figures from United, including Avram Glazer, Joel Glazer, and new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, witnessed the disappointment at Wembley as fans left rather than celebrating a potential penalty shootout victory, setting up a repeat of last year’s final against Manchester City.
Ratcliffe has already made changes by appointing Omar Berrada from Manchester City as chief executive, with Dan Ashworth likely to assume a director of football role and Jason Wilcox appointed as technical director. This suggests a managerial change could be imminent.
