After the worst start in Premier League history, ten Hag's days at Manchester United seem to be numbered. Ten Hag set a new record for the worst start in Premier League history, with only 8 points after 7 games, which is worse than the 9 points after 7 games last year. Fans who have been following Manchester United since the Ferguson era may find it hard to believe what the team has been through.

The Dutch coach won two trophies during his coaching period, but the Red Devils' league performance in the past 12 months is worrying. Despite investing heavily in new players, there are no signs of improvement.

Injured young defender Yoro, Dutch defender De Ligt who made frequent mistakes, Zirkzee who only played one or two good games, and Anthony, the "king of signings in the ten Hag era" who has played less than two games this season... These are all signings that did not work.

Manchester United's performance this season is not good, both offensively and defensively. The new coach needs to find a way to solve these problems.

Although Massimiliano Allegri did not do much for the former, he will definitely solve the latter. The Italian coach is known for his excellent defensive strategies. During his two spells at Juventus, they were particularly strong in this regard.

The stats suggest this is true. His team has kept the second-most clean sheets in Serie A history, and he has led Juventus to 10 consecutive clean sheets, two of which were in the process. One more thing to consider: Manchester United have kept just nine clean sheets this season under Erik ten Hag.

His football may not be the prettiest, but his trophy cabinet, which includes 10 Serie A and Coppa Italia winners' medals, suggests his style of play bears fruit.

Gareth Southgate was considered the favourite for Dan Ashworth's move to club management at Manchester United at the end of last season.

While some United fans in the UK may not be too happy about the appointment - given the criticism Southgate has received on the international stage - the manager's counter-attacking formation could work at Old Trafford.

As we've seen before, players like Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes excel in a counter-attacking system that gets the most out of United's best players. Ten Hag has not been able to do that in the past 18 months.

Another head coach who has been linked with Manchester United, Thomas Tuchel, will surely be in the spotlight.

The German coach has worked with some of the world's top clubs such as Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Dortmund, and won titles with them.

He may be a little sharp, but maybe that's exactly what Manchester United needs - a head coach who takes a straightforward approach.

Of all the coaches, Van Nistelrooy may be the easiest to appoint as he is already at the club and currently serves as an assistant coach at Manchester United.

Van Nistelrooy has proven that he has the qualities of a coach, having won the Dutch Cup when he was the head coach at PSV a few years ago.

He could be another short-term solution for the club, which is not a bad thing considering the Norwegian's excellent performance in the early days of his coaching career.

The management believes that the new assistant coach who just took office in the new season is more like a head coach, so it is a good idea to let him settle in. Considering that Ten Hag's release fee may be as high as £15 million, Manchester United, who are facing financial challenges, hired such a well-known coach as the head coach and interim coach.

But in the end, it is the results and the way the game is played that counts. Otherwise, once the honeymoon period is over, what happened in Rome this season could happen again - another "De Rossi-style" dismissal.
