Roy Keane to replace Erik ten Hag anyone? The Manchester United legend s former teammate Giuseppe Rossi thinks it could be a great situation . He may well be alone in that.
Ten Hag has been under pressure at Old Trafford all season, and doubts over his future grew after the FA Cup semi-final.
Despite their penalty shootout victory over Coventry, , which Ten Hag later embarrassingly insisted was an embarrassing take.
Anyway, despite reports since Sir Jim Ratcliffe took charge of football operations suggesting the co-owner would prefer to retain the Dutchman, there have been links with a number of possible replacements as new technical director to ascertain whether he s the right man to continue.

Roy Keane would clean house at Old Trafford
He s probably not, but we re certain Roy Keane cleaning house would be a terrible idea.
Asked who he would like to see in the Old Trafford dugout, Rossi – who made 14 senior appearances under Sir Alex Ferguson – told DAZN: When I think about potentially having Roy Keane as manager at Old Trafford, that sounds like it could be really great. It would be something very cool. The club should definitely think about it if they have a change in management. A man who is a legend of the club and helped build their culture, that’s exactly what is needed.
Maybe some of the players that are not playing for the shirt would understand it more. Maybe you need someone to go into Manchester United and clean the house so to speak and build from there. It could be a great situation.

Keane took Sunderland into the Premier League in his first full season as manager in 2006/07, but struggled in the top flight and failed to pull up any trees in a subsequent stint at Ipswich.
He s also worked as assistant manager with Ireland, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest, but is well aware he s not up to the Manchester United job.
When asked by Gary Neville, on his show The Overlap Live, if he would take up the reins of his former club he said: That’s never going to happen. My CV wouldn’t warrant it it’s as simple as that, The Man Utd job is a tough job.”
