Manchester United officially parted ways with manager Erik ten Hag following a disappointing loss to West Ham.

The defeat left the club in fourteenth place in the Premier League with only eleven points from nine games.

Just days before an EFL Cup game v Leicester City, the Dutch manager’s exit has propelled the club into a high-stakes search for a replacement, with Ruud van Nistelrooy temporarily stepping in.

As speculation mounts, Massimiliano Allegri has emerged as a prominent candidate for the position.

According to Calciomercato, the Italian coach, who remains without a club following his departure from Juventus, is seen as a strong contender to bring stability and discipline to a struggling United squad.

Known for his defensive acumen and tactical flexibility, Allegri could be a logical fit to arrest United’s slide and restore order to Old Trafford, which reportedly needs a seasoned and proven leader.

Allegri is respected across Europe for his ability to manage high-stakes environments and instil discipline within star-studded squads.

Known for his adaptable approach, he can tailor his tactics to maximise squad strengths, which could provide United with the structure they need to stabilise and rebuild.

His reputation as a seasoned manager with a track record of reviving top teams makes him a compelling option for a club eager to return to winning ways.

According to David Ornstein, United are actively looking to appoint Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon.

The club still needs to set a definitive timeline for appointing a permanent successor to Ten Hag.

With crucial matches on the horizon, however, the United management faces growing pressure to finalise a decision and stabilise a team desperate for leadership.
