Both Bayern and former club Ajax believe the Dutchman will depart Old Trafford at the end of the season - even if United can land an FA Cup Final shock by beating rivals Manchester City next Saturday.
Both Tuchel and Potter, ironically, are in the frame to replace Ten Hag at Old Trafford. United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe will make a decision on the manager’s future after the Cup final. But United are eighth in the Premier League table despite spending £440million in the transfer market during Ten Hag’s two-year reign.
He is looking for Ratcliffe to show his commitment by offering a new contract - but so far there have been no talks about an extension. United would need to pay the 54-year-old around £10million in compensation if they sack him. Rashford, 26, became embroiled in a touchline row with a supporter as he warmed up for United’s midweek victory over Newcastle. And last month, the England striker called out online abuse on his social media account after being targeted by racist bigots.
