In the midst of rumours between Manchester United and the England national team, former Chelsea manager Graham Potter declared he was “open to anything.” Potter has not had a job since the Blues fired him in April 2023 after he had only played for less than seven months at Stamford Bridge. Potter has been discussed as a potential Erik ten Hag replacement at Man Utd.
The name of the 49-year-old has surfaced in relation to potential openings at the Red Devils, Southampton, Everton, England, and more, but for the time being, the former head coach of Brighton is waiting. I guess it’s time for a commercial break! He stated, in response to a question regarding taking over as Three Lions manager in place of Gareth Southgate on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football. Of course, it’s an amazing profession, and as an Englishman, I support anything The FA decides to do.
Potter on Man Utd’s list to replace Ten Hag
Ten Hag is under tremendous pressure again after taking a week or two off from the spotlight following his defeat to Tottenham and two poor draws against FC Twente and Crystal Palace. INEOS chose to trust the Dutchman, even though it appeared like the Manchester United manager was on the verge of losing his job over the summer after the Red Devils board spoke with several applicants.
Ten Hag faced several mini-crises last term that seemed to be leading to his termination, and during the last six months, he has been linked to other managers. Among the names mentioned were those of former Brighton and Chelsea manager Potter, and rumours about him being one of several possible contenders for the position persist. Only yesterday, there was a connection made between Simone Inzaghi, Gareth Southgate, Thomas Tuchel, Thomas Frank, and Max Allegri with the manager position at Manchester United.
