Manchester United Football Club
Already in contact with Ipswich boss Kieran
McKenna
representatives of the club have held talks. The talks were held as a precautionary measure against the possible need to replace current manager Eric
Tenhave
The situation.
Meeting with McKenna's representatives were United's senior staff Bellada and Wilcox. It is understood that the purpose of the talks at United is to prepare for a possible change of manager in the future. McKenna, who has previously worked as a United assistant coach and is a Red Devils fan, is open to taking over at United.
McKenna, 38, has had a stellar tenure in charge of Ipswich, leading the team to two successive promotions and a successful Super League run. His current contract expires in 2025, but Sky Sports and the BBC previously reported that McKenna only signed a new four-year deal with Ipswich last summer, which runs until the summer of 2027.
Chelsea and Brighton have also shown an interest in McKenna and want to invite him to coach. However, Manchester United, as McKenna's former owners, may have an advantage in the race for the young manager.
United's current manager, Ten Hahn, took over the team in the middle of the season and has led United to some success in all competitions. However, the club's management wants to be prepared for possible changes in the future and ensure that the team has a stable leader in any situation.
McKenna has proven himself at Ipswich as a young and promising coach. If he is able to return to United, he will inject new energy and tactical philosophy into the team.
Manchester United fans will continue to follow the club's moves and look forward to the team's continued success in the coming season. Regardless of the final choice of whether or not to replace the manager, the club's decisions will have a significant impact on the team's future development.
