It was as clear as day that after Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, a difficult period awaited Manchester United. However, no one could have imagined that it would last until today, with no signs of improvement. Since Erik ten Hag arrived at Old Trafford in June 2022, he has spent 660 euros million on player signings. The only trophies he has won are one FA Cup and one League Cup, far too little for a club with Manchester United’s tradition and reputation.🚨 BREAKING: Manchester United has been courting Simone Inzaghi for ‘months’ and even reached out to the Italian via a phone call to an intermediary recently. 🇮🇹Inzaghi confirmed that he is very happy at #Inter. ⚫️🔵[via @FBiasin] pic.twitter.com/nJJL2zB4Sw— Inter Xtra (@Inter_Xtra) October 4, 2024 Moreover, the Red Devils have become the subject of ridicule due to their massive spending and modest results. The frustration has been slowly building, and the team doesn’t look good this season either, sitting 13th in the Premier League standings and still without a win in the Europa League after two matches. The latest blow for the fans came in the loss to Tottenham last weekend, when the Spurs put on a footballing display at the Theatre of Dreams like rarely seen before, and by all accounts, deserved a more convincing 3-0 victory.Sir Alex has a surprising proposition if Ten Hag gets the bootManchester United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe is not a fan of how Ten Hag operates, so the club quickly tried to fix the situation by expressing a desire to bring in Simone Inzaghi. They even sent a concrete offer for the Italian to immediately head to the UK, but, unsurprisingly, he refused. The former Lazio coach enjoys a great reputation, especially after winning the Serie A title last season and reaching the Champions League final the year before. There is no reason for Inzaghi to leave “Giuseppe Meazza” to clean up someone else’s mess, and Ten Hag has certainly created plenty. On top of that, Inzaghi’s contract runs until 2026. Thus, the Manchester United bench, once a dream position for many, has now become one of the least desirable, with coaches avoiding it at all costs. Ten Hag still believes he can achieve something significant, and he seems to be the only one at the club with that view. Everyone else is eagerly waiting to see him go. Unfortunately for them, Simone Inzaghi won’t be his replacement.
