Legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has reportedly endorsed Massimiliano Allegri as his top choice to succeed Erik ten Hag, should the Dutchman be dismissed.
Ten Hag is facing immense pressure at Old Trafford after a poor start to the season. Despite finishing eighth in the previous campaign, he was retained due to winning the FA Cup.
United’s management had consulted with several other managers during the summer, including Graham Potter, Gareth Southgate, and Thomas Tuchel, before deciding to keep Ten Hag in charge.

However, a crushing 3-0 defeat to Tottenham last Sunday has intensified calls for his dismissal, with some reports suggesting that the 54-year-old has just two games to save his job.
While United are reportedly considering Simone Inzaghi as a potential interim solution, La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Ferguson has personally recommended Allegri as the ideal candidate to take over at Old Trafford.
