Manchester United's new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has reportedly already identified a successor for Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils currently sit eight points adrift of the top four following Saturday's shock 2-1 loss to Fulham at Old Trafford.

INEOS have been brought in to deal with football matters at the club, which includes making a decision on Ten Hag after their disappointing campaign so far.
Should INEOS decided to part ways with the Dutchman, Sports Zone has reported that former Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann has been identified as the ideal replacement.
Nagelsmann does have a good track record with Bayern and his former team RB Leipzig, but he is now in charge of the German national side, with his contract expiring after the European Championship.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag revealed he is in constant communication with Ratcliffe since he officially took control at the club.
"We speak a lot, there are many conversations with him [Ratcliffe], with Dave Brailsford about this club, about this team, about the structures, we are very aligned, it totally fits with ambitions I have, ambitions I had when I came in," Ten Hag said, as per Goal.
"I'm 19 months in and I see we are going in the right direction."
