Manchester United have reportedly begun eyeing Carlo Ancelotti as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag, as per Spanish journalist Benjamin Lopez – cited by TeamTalk.
Maybe take this one with a pinch of salt, Reds.
Ten Hag’s start to the season has been anything but ideal; four wins and four losses in the Premier League marks the side’s worst start to a campaign in 34 years, and they sit rock bottom of their Champions League group after two straight defeats.

Meanwhile, Ancelotti has been heavily linked for the Brazil national team job at the end of the term – when he’s expected to leave Real Madrid. Lopez claims a verbal offer has been sent over to the highly-rated coach but that he would accept a contract extension at the Bernabeu if one is offered.
Ultimately, it seems highly unlikely that anything of the sort will happen. Ten Hag will be backed by the board for the foreseeable future and Ancelotti will stay working with this Real super-team for as long as he gets the chance.
