Reports indicate that Manchester United is interested in speaking with Wolves head coach Gary O’Neil regarding a potential move to the club for the upcoming season.
Erik ten Hag, the current Man Utd boss, is nearing the end of his second season and is expected to be replaced by INEOS before the 2024/25 campaign.
Ten Hag received praise for his achievements last season, including winning the Carabao Cup and finishing third in the Premier League.
However, this season has been a disappointment. To secure his position for next season, Ten Hag likely needs to win the FA Cup.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who recently acquired a 27.7% stake in Man Utd, now has control over footballing matters at Old Trafford.
Significant changes are already taking place behind the scenes, with Omar Berrada appointed as United’s chief executive and Ratcliffe aiming to bring in Dan Ashworth as the new sporting director.
According to ESPN, Manchester United is interested in speaking with O’Neil about joining the club. Despite his lack of experience, O’Neil has impressed since taking over at AFC Bournemouth last season, leading them to survival in the Premier League.
Bournemouth chose to replace O’Neil with Andoni Iraola, who has performed well for the team. O’Neil then joined Wolves after Julen Lopetegui’s departure and has further enhanced his reputation this season by exceeding expectations and challenging for a European spot.
