Manchester United could battle it out with West Ham in a race for Edin Terzic which could hasten the departure of Erik ten Hag.
This development follows a revelation from Florian Plettenberg, a trusted media ally of West Ham’s director of football, Tim Steidten. According to Plettenberg, West Ham is eyeing Terzic as a potential successor to current under-fire head coach, Julen Lopetegui.
The news seems to have prompted Manchester United to reconsider their position on ten Hag, who is also under increasing pressure. United’s upcoming clash with West Ham at the London Stadium this weekend will be pivotal, as neither manager can afford a defeat in what could be a decisive fixture.
The Red Devils have endured a poor start to the campaign, securing only three wins in their first eight league matches. Despite another massive summer investment, the team has failed to deliver the performances fans expected.
Ten Hag has publicly claimed that he still enjoys the backing of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazers, but speculation continues to mount that he could become the first Premier League manager to face the axe this season.
As for Terzic, he has ties to West Ham, having worked under Slaven Bilic during his tenure. His stock has risen significantly since guiding Borussia Dortmund to the Champions League final last season.
