Manchester United reportedly already have an immediate replacement in mind for Erik ten Hag ahead of crunch talks over the Dutchman's future.

The Red Devils are currently experiencing their worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign.
The record English champions are hovering in 14th position, five points outside of the relegation zone.
They have also managed to score only five goals in the league so far, with only 19th-placed Southampton managing to score fewer in the entire division.
This past weekend's 0-0 draw away at Aston Villa is rumoured to have prompted the club's chiefs to hold an urgent meeting in London, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, and it is said Ten Hag's future is on the agenda.
According to Manchester Evening News, should the United hierarchy decide to part ways with the Dutch tactician, they will likely look to appoint Thomas Tuchel as their next manager.
The appeal of the German is that he is currently without a job after leaving Bayern Munich at the end of last season.
It is understood that the 51-year-old already held talks with minority club owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe during the off-season about possibly taking the reins at Old Trafford, and it seems he may be keen on becoming the club's next manager after speaking glowingly about the team before Bayern's UEFA Champions League encounter against the Mancunians last season.
The same report claims that the Red Devils do, however, have other candidates in mind, but they are currently employed by other clubs.

Tuchel has Premier League experience, having coached Chelsea for close to two years. He won the Champions League with the Blues during the 2020/21 season, and would likely be hoping to achieve equivalent success should he be appointed as United's next manager.
