Potter returns to the Premier League, the media named his new club

Manchester United were eliminated from European competitions at the bottom of their bracket on Tuesday, damaging their legacy and the position of coach Erik ten Hag, with the club in the middle of an endless sales process. With this tough elimination, Erik ten Hag's days at the helm of Manchester United are numbered. That is no secret and, in fact, if the club's reality were different, he would no longer sit on the Old Trafford bench.

The sale of Manchester United is what is delaying such a drastic decision. Jim Ratcliffe is finalizing the purchase of 25% of the club after more than a year of negotiations and the British millionaire would arrive determined to give the club a new look. The English coach has been without a team since he did not succeed in his time on the Chelsea bench, but he is familiar with the Premier League and is highly valued for what he achieved with Brighton, one of the teams that played the best in England.

The Sun reports that, although Ratcliffe was not initially thinking about replacing Ten Hag, the club's results have changed his mind. So much so that there would already be a coach chosen for United's new stage, which would be Graham Potter.

According to talkSPORT, the famous British specialist could become the next head coach of Manchester United. It is his candidacy that is being considered in case the Dutch coach of the Red Devils Erik ten Hag is fired in the near future. The future owner of Manchester United, Jim Ratcliffe, insists on Potter's appointment. The source writes that the businessman is delighted with the work of the English coach.

Potter's past

Potter worked with London Chelsea from September 2022 to April 2023. He was fired when the team was in 11th place in the championship standings. Under his leadership, Chelsea reached the quarter finals in the Champions League. We previously wrote that ten Hag has the confidence of the club’s management, but they still hope that the team’s results will still improve.
