Manchester United are reportedly considering Thiago Motta as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag, according to reports. Motta, currently coaching Bologna, has impressed with his tactical acumen, notably employing an unorthodox “2-7-2” formation. Despite Bologna’s remarkable progress under Motta, his contract expires in the summer, making him a target for several clubs, including Juventus.

Motta’s innovative approach to coaching, treating the goalkeeper as a “midfielder” and emphasizing offensive play with high pressure and fluid movement, has attracted interest from top clubs. However, Motta’s agent has hinted that his client aspires to coach in the Champions League, which could influence his decision.

Manchester United’s recent struggles in the Premier League, coupled with late collapses in key matches, have raised doubts about Ten Hag’s future. Motta’s tactical flexibility and success at Bologna make him an intriguing candidate for the Red Devils, who are looking to return to the top of English football.
