Erik ten Hag is being evaluated by Man Utd, but he will not be fired yet. West Ham is interested in Ruben Amorim, a target of Liverpool.

Manager Erik Ten Hag is currently facing a trial period at Manchester United, as technical director Jason Wilcox assesses his abilities and evaluates the team’s morale. The final decision on Ten Hag’s future will not be made until the end of the season, but their recent victory in the FA Cup semi-finals over Coventry has improved their chances of exploring other options.

Wilcox has been tasked with providing a comprehensive assessment of Ten Hag’s strengths, weaknesses, and his relationship with the squad. This evaluation will determine whether his approach aligns with the club’s desired style of play and philosophy, or if a managerial change is necessary. However, one complication is the lack of standout candidates available to replace Ten Hag if a change is indeed required.

Despite Manchester United’s unconvincing performances throughout the season, Ten Hag’s position at Old Trafford remains intact for now. The team’s football policy controller, Ratcliffe, has decided to stick with the Dutchman, considering the injuries and illnesses he has had to contend with as contributing factors to their underwhelming campaign. While a trophy is still within reach, Champions League qualification seems unlikely as they currently sit seventh in the Premier League, 16 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa with only six matches remaining.

In other news, Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim has traveled to the UK for discussions about his future, with West Ham expressing interest in the Liverpool target. Amorim is a potential candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, but West Ham has made a bold attempt to secure the 39-year-old’s services. West Ham is also considering other options, with Julen Lopetegui emerging as an early frontrunner for the job.

Barcelona is reportedly interested in signing Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who is also a target for Arsenal. The Spanish club sees the Swedish forward as a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski. However, the asking price of around £90m could be a stumbling block, despite Newcastle’s financial fair play concerns. Barcelona is willing to negotiate a deal for Isak, as they believe he has the potential to lead their frontline successfully for the next few years.
