Erik ten Hag may not be jobless for long should Manchester United decide to get rid of him at the end of the season.

United are currently placed seventh in the Premier League table with 54 points after managing just 16 wins in 34 games.

According to reports, United chiefs are already looking to replace the Dutchman, with Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel among the leading candidates to succeed him.
