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.

Erik ten Hag is planning to be in charge for Man Utd's next game, at home to Brentford after the international break, despite the threat of the sack still hanging over him

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.
