Former Chelsea manager Graham Potter was spotted at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, watching Arsenal take on Crystal Palace. It seems that Manchester United have taken an interest in Potter, as they have been informally discussing the possibility of him taking over from current manager Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford. It has been reported that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has even met with Potter to discuss the potential move.
Ten Hag has been facing increasing pressure as United currently sit at seventh place in the Premier League and have already been eliminated from European competitions. On top of that, the manager has faced criticism for his signings, style of play, and treatment of certain players. Some have even speculated that Potter's presence at the Emirates could be a sign of things to come for Ten Hag.
Football pundit Alan Shearer commented on the situation, saying, "Am I being mischievous or is it often the case where managers out of work suddenly turn up at games where another manager is under pressure?" This seems to be a common occurrence in the world of football, where managers are constantly linked to potential job opportunities and the pressure to win is always present.
Potter's last managerial position was at Chelsea, but he was sacked after less than a season in charge. However, it seems that he has been waiting for the right opportunity to come along, as he turned down the chance to manage the Sweden national team. It appears that he may be interested in taking over from Ten Hag should the opportunity arise.
In the world of football, managers are always under scrutiny and the pressure to perform is immense. As former United player Dwight Yorke has suggested, some players may not be meeting expectations and could potentially be sold. This could also be the case for managers, as they are often held accountable for their team's performance. With the possibility of Potter taking over at Old Trafford, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for Ten Hag and United.
