A cloud of uncertainty hangs over Manchester United after the club decided to part ways with manager Erik ten Hag on Monday.
Despite winning two trophies during his two years at Old Trafford, an underwhelming start to the 2024/25 season saw United finally pull the plug on the Dutchman's managerial tenure.
The decision to sack Ten Hag was inevitable which has resulted in a number of high profile managers being linked with one of the biggest jobs in world football.

It appears that Sporting Lisbon's Ruben Amorim is the frontrunner to replace Ten Hag with United conducting negotiations to secure the Portuguese coach's services.
Another name which has been heavily linked with the vacant managerial position at Old Trafford is Brentford's Thomas Frank, but former United striker Dwight Yorke instead wants the club to pursue another manager who is having a huge impact on the Premier League.
"What I’m about to say might baffle the football world, but if it was me, I would go and get Unai Emery from Villa. He’s the guy that United needs right now," Yorke told SafestCasinoSites.co.uk.
"Zidane is a sexier name, but he’s always been reluctant to come because his English isn’t very good. That’s been well documented. He’s definitely in the elite managers category.
"I think Unai Emery is the one manager right now who can match and compete with the likes of Carlo Ancelotti, Zinedine Zidane and Pep. I’m not going to be very popular at my old club for saying it, but Emery is the best candidate given Zidane’s reluctance to come to England. He is the man that I would go out and do everything to try and get."
While the search for a full-time replacement continues, former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge on an interim basis with his first game in charge being a Carabao Cup tie against struggling Leicester City on Wednesday night.
