Sir Alex Ferguson secret pick: Man Utd legend gives his verdict on next manager who can replace Erik ten Hag


It seems Erik ten Hag’s time at Old Trafford might be running out, and Manchester United’s fans are on high alert. After the Red Devils suffered a crushing 3-0 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur, rumors are swirling that the Dutchman has only two games to turn things around.

With Sir Alex Ferguson reportedly throwing his weight behind a certain Italian maestro, things just got even more interesting.

Allegri vs Tuchel: Who’s Fergie’s favorite?

According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, Sir Alex Ferguson has picked out Massimiliano Allegri as his ideal replacement if United decides to show Ten Hag the door.

The former Juventus boss is known for his tactical brilliance in Italy, but let’s not forget, he’s never managed outside his home country. Will the Theatre of Dreams be too big a stage for him?

On the flip side, Thomas Tuchel’s name is also in the hat. The German coach has done it all — won the Champions League with Chelsea and managed some of the biggest clubs like PSG and Bayern Munich.

He’s no stranger to the Premier League, and that’s something United’s hierarchy could lean towards. But when Sir Alex speaks, people listen — especially United fans.

Fergie’s nostalgia or nonsense?

Fergie is backing Allegri, but should we really take this as gospel? After all, Sir Alex once vouched for David Moyes back in 2013, and we all know how that turned out. “You can’t always get it right,” he once told the BBC.

While Ferguson’s instincts have built United’s glory years, fans might feel a bit cautious about taking his word as law this time around.

While Allegri could offer a new approach, his style isn’t exactly famous for its flair. And let’s be honest, United fans have been crying out for some entertainment on the pitch. On the other hand, Tuchel’s record speaks for itself. He’s won big trophies, played exciting football, and knows the ins and outs of English football.
