Supercomputer Projects Erik Ten Hag's Successor at Manchester United

The exchange of candidates to replace Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager is once again a hot topic. Supercomputers predict Gareth Southgate to be the leading candidate to become United coach.

Inconsistency is still an acute disease in MU's body entering the new season. Of the six matches that have been played in the Premier League, the Red Devils have suffered three defeats. Most recently, United was forced to surrender with a landslide score of 0-3 by Tottenham in a match held at their home ground, Old Trafford on Sunday (29/9/2024) night.

This defeat leaves Man United in 13th place in the 2024/2025 Premier League standings. With seven points, the Red Devils are six points behind the top-four zone. This situation has put Ten Hag's position as United manager under increasing pressure. Now, BoyleSports' supercomputer predicts who the most favoured candidate is to replace Ten Hag if he is fired.

Interestingly, the 54-year-old Gareth Southgate is the figure most favoured by the BoyleSports supercomputer to replace Ten Hag at United. The former England coach has a 34.8% chance. Former English head coach Southgate is unwaged after stepping down as England coach after Euro 2024. Southgate played a role in bringing England to the final.

Unfortunately, Southgate failed to present a trophy for England after being defeated by Spain with a score of 1-2 in the final match held at the Olympiastadion, Berlin, last July.
