After the humiliation in the Champions League, Manchester United chooses Ten Hag's replacement

Patience has run out at Old Trafford, Manchester United has not even managed to qualify for the Europa League after the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. This has put the pressure on Erik Ten Hag stronger than ever. This situation makes the club begin to evaluate possible reinforcements for the team for the next season and the profile of an important coach already appears on the radar.

Former Spain manager Julen Lopetegui could be on track to return to the Premier League dugout as Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest desperately seek to turn around their seasons. Both teams are in a complicated situation in the standings, and the arrival of a new coach seems to be the best option to try to right the ship.

According to reports from The Sun, Julen Lopetegui has become the main candidate to fill the vacant position in these two English teams. This news comes after his time at Wolverhampton, which ended up being a fruitless adventure for the Spanish coach.

Manchester United's decision and the new coach

However, what has really caught the attention is that Manchester United have also shown interest in Julen Lopetegui. The Old Trafford club are monitoring the situation closely, and this could be a sign that Dutch manager Erik Ten Hag is under pressure in the United dugout. The inclusion of Manchester United in the pursuit of Lopetegui adds an intriguing twist to this story. While the Spanish coach has yet to make a final decision, the fact that one of England's biggest clubs is considering hiring him certainly increases his attractiveness as a candidate.
