Manchester United will decide Erik ten Hag's fate today as the club's executive committee gathers in London for a long-standing summit. The Dutchman is at serious risk of the sack, having failed to improve United's fortunes at the start of the season.

Tuchel, who left Bayern Munich at the end of last season, is said to be one of the early favourites to replace Ten Hag at Old Trafford. And the German, who won the Champions League with Chelsea, is said to be open to the possibility of a return to the Premier League having already held talks with United last summer.

Erik ten Hag's future as Manchester United manager remains in the balance ahead of a scheduled executive meeting this week.
