WHAT HAPPENED?
Ten Hag's second season at Old Trafford ended with the FA Cup trophy in his hands, however, after what can only be described as a poor season, the Man Utd hierarchy are still uncertain about his continuance at the club. As such, The Guardian has reported that the Red Devils' co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe admires De Zerbi's footballing principles and is a fan of his success at Brighton. He would like the club to go after the former Seagulls boss if Ten Hag is shown the door this summer.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Chelsea are also looking for a new manager this summer after they parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino after a less-than-optimal season. Their search for a manager has also led them to De Zerbi according to iNews, alongside two other managers in the form of Leicester's Enzo Maresca and Ipswich's Kieran McKenna.
