Rajue did not let the reason for Ten Hag's resignation be exposed, if Manchester United changes the manager, the first choice! Vanney definitely stayed

As we approach November, Manchester United are still very low in the Premier League, winning just four games in all competitions. Boss Erik ten Hag again blamed injuries but Barca beat Real Madrid 4-0 away with a starting suit of four under-21 players with injuries to three first-team centre-backs and goalkeepers, leaving the Netherlands' excuse weak. HOWEVER, DESPITE THE POOR START, TEN HAG'S POSITION IS STILL SAFE, AND THE BRITISH MEDIA "GIVEMESPORT" SAID THAT SIR JIM · RATCLIFFE DOES NOT WANT TO CHANGE THE COACH HALFWAY UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

This decision stemmed from two factors, the first being saving money. Ten Hag will have to pay him £17.5 million in compensation if he is sacked, which is the end of the summer window when the hierarchy decided to extend his contract for another year. In addition, he only chose to keep him a few months ago, and now the change of coach in a short period of time will also make the face of the top management of Rajue and INEOS disgraced.

For now, United's board of directors still has confidence in Ten Hag and hopes he can turn things around. However, that doesn't mean they haven't approached other candidates, with former Barcelona boss Xavi being one of the top picks. Among United's other managerial candidates, Sporting Portugal's Amorim is the highly regarded 39-year-old manager, but digging him involves a high compensation, so Rajue is more interested in Xavi, who left after falling out with Barca and is currently at home.

The 44-year-old has been approached personally, with chief executive Omar · Berada leading a four-man delegation to Barcelona last week. The club's senior figures also spoke to a number of other candidates for the manager during the international break, suggesting that they have not completely ruled out a change of manager. Of course, the coaching of any manager is not considered close at the moment.

One more thing is certain, and that is that assistant coach Ruud van Nistelrooy is safe in his job, no matter who the manager is. Ruud van Nistelrooy, who scored 150 goals in five seasons at Manchester United, could even become interim manager. If Ten Hag ends up stepping down midway through the season, Ruud van Nistelrooy will lead the team temporarily, and while it's not a plan, it's a possibility.

It is also believed that even if there is a change in the selection of the manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy's job at the club is stable and there is a belief within the club that he is willing to stay. Ruud van Nistelrooy could have managed other teams in the summer, such as Burnley in the Championship, but he unexpectedly opted to return to Manchester United as an assistant coach.

It's hard to say who Manchester United's manager will be next season, but the new shirt is already in sight. Footy Headlines reports that as Old Trafford faces a rebuild, the 2025/26 kit will feature elements that pay homage to Old Trafford.

It is reported that Manchester United's home shirt next season will have black dark stripes on the sleeves, reusing the classic shirt from 1996 to 1998, which is the last shirt of "King" Eric · Cantona before retiring. At that time, the shirt also had elements of the Theatre of Dreams, and the shirt was printed with "Old Trafford" in English on the ribs.

Manchester United also made an official announcement of the injury of 100 million euros Mr. Antony over the weekend, and after several days of examination, the club's team doctor confirmed that it was a sprained ankle. The Brazil winger's injury was not as serious as initially feared, as he was carried off the pitch on a stretcher, wearing protective boots and crutches.

Scans show Antony's sprained ankle is not as bad as initially feared, and it's unclear how long he will be out but certainly out of the game against West Ham.
