The Dutch tactician has been under-fire this season due to the club's poor performances. United finished a lowly eighth in the Premier League.

United will be aiming to win silverware against the Cityzens on Saturday, but regardless of the result, the decision has been made to sack Ten Hag.

Gianluca Di Marzio claims that the hierarchy are already preparing for the future and they have identified potential candidates to replace him.

Mauricio Pochettino is one of the leading names on their shortlist following the Argentine's departure from his position at Chelsea this week.

Aside from him, the club are keeping tabs on Ipswich Town's Kieran McKenna while Roberto De Zerbi is another option for the club.

De Zerbi mutually parted ways with Brighton after the end of the season. He has also been linked with the vacancy at Stamford Bridge.
