Ratcliffe ‘gets green light’ to name Serie A title winner as major report reveals Ten Hag ‘betrayal’ and new sacking plan

Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi has agreed to become Manchester United’s new manager, according to surprising reports in the Italian media, and it has also emerged when Sir Jim Ratcliffe will sack Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman has been under intense pressure this season after failing to get a consistent tune out of his expensive Manchester United squad and is now at the point where any game that ends with less than a win looks like his position unsustainable And while his side secured their first win in five games at the weekend by coming from behind to beat Brentford, the pressure will be back on their shoulders to beat Fenerbahce in their Europa League clash in thursday night

Either way, time appears to be running out on Ten Hag’s reign and now surprising new reports in Italy claim that Ratcliffe has made a monumental breakthrough in his quest to land a successor.

Earlier this month, the British billionaire was reported to have tried to persuade Inter manager Inzaghi to leave the Italian champions for a move to Old Trafford; an offer that was very quickly rejected.

However, InterLive – a source who, while often quite speculative, is also fiercely loyal to doing the right thing by the club – now claims Inzaghi has “accepted” an offer to become United’s manager after ” two rounds of interviews’ and in what the website calls the ultimate ‘betrayal’.

They claim Inzaghi has ‘already given the green light’ to Man Utd after saying ‘yes’ following a ‘couple of video conferences with the board’ and the ‘details of the deal which will finally be finalized in the coming weeks are a madness”.

They claim he will be given an “almost unlimited budget to strengthen” the squad and the 48-year-old will sign a three-year deal.

What are Man Utd’s plans to fire Ten Hag?

The report adds that United, however, do not actually plan to make the switch until the end of the season with the low pressure that Ten Hag put the implementation on hold until the summer and at a time when the club knows that will be cheaper to fire him and have his deal extended only in June this year.

However, it is reported that regardless of how this season plays out, Ratcliffe has decided a change is needed to restore United to the forefront of the English and European game and ensure the INEOS master plan comes to life.

That would match our understanding of the situation. Sources have told us that Ratcliffe recently told members of the club’s executive board meeting at INEOS’ headquarters in Knightsbridge, London, that he wanted the Dutchman. deleted as United manager and who lost faith in his ability to turn things around after last season’s eighth-place finish, the club’s lowest in the Premier League.

However, he ultimately left the decision in the hands of CEO Omar Berrada and sporting director Dan Ashworth, who opted at the time to stand by their man.

In recent days, however, there are signs that Berrada has now turned his head. To that end, the Daily Mail reported earlier this week that United’s chief executive had led a four-man delegation to Barcelona to speak to former Barcelona manager Xavi about the possibility of taking over the job.

Now, however, Inzaghi appears to be the man chosen to lead their new era if Inter Live’s strong claims are to be proven true.

Ten Hag himself has once again fought back against claims suggesting he is heading for the sack, saying earlier this week: “It’s football, you have to live in the moment. (What pass) is in the past, you have to prove yourself every day, you have to prove yourself every season, so we have to go there.

“We’re at the start of the season and we’ll see where we end up, but our aim is to win a trophy again.”

Meanwhile, Ashworth is said to have opened talks with Sporting Lisbon over a deal to sign explosive teenage striker Geovany Quenda.

The 17-year-old has six appearances to his name this season, having drawn comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo. Recently called up to the Portuguese national team, it has also been seen that a deal will not be easy due to a huge release clause in his contract.

A move for the teenager, however, would certainly come in line with sources informing us that United have decided they want to offload troubled winger Antony, potentially as soon as the January window.

However, reports in the Netherlands have revealed that United’s early attempts to flog Antony to a former club have already hit a major snag.

Elsewhere, Wes Brown has urged United to do everything possible to sign Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies, labeling him a “grade A star” and explaining exactly why he is a signing the club won’t can afford to lose.
