Ex-Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic emerges as surprise contender for Man Utd job with Erik ten Hag still at risk of sack

Terzic took Dortmund to the Champions League final last season, before stepping down from the role shortly after. Now, The Sun claims the German is on United's shortlist if they decide to sack manager Ten Hag.

Ten Hag is under huge pressure to keep his job at Old Trafford. United are 14th in the Premier League and they seem to be going backwards, despite spending around £200 million ($261m) on players this summer. Ex-Chelsea bosses Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter are also reportedly being considered by the Red Devils as a potential replacement.

Terzic has had two stints as Dortmund manager, the first of which was between December 2020 to June 2021 as an interim boss and the second was from May 2022 to June 2024. In his first spell he led them to DFB-Pokal cup success but in his most recent time in the dugout he had a superior win percentage (66.94 vs 62.5).

Amid all this speculation over who could replace Ten Hag at United, the Red Devils return to Premier League action next Saturday at home to mid-table Brentford. If their results don't improve, Terzic could come to the fore.
