Edin Terzic is one of the latest managers linked to the Manchester United job amid increasing pressure on Erik ten Hag, with the German currently a free agent after leaving Dortmund last season
Former Manchester United star Jadon Sancho gave a rousing approval of Edin Terzic after his departure from Borussia Dortmund this summer – as the coach becomes the latest name to be linked with replacing Erik ten Hag.
The Red Devils have endured their worst ever start to the season, picking up just eight points from seven games, heaping huge pressure on Ten Hag’s position.
The club’s leadership team held a seven-hour crisis meeting last week to discuss the Dutchman’s future and though Ten Hag appears to be safe for now, there are a host of names who the club are reportedly keeping a close eye on as a possible replacement.
Terzic is one of the latest managers linked to the Old Trafford dugout, with the German currently a free agent after leaving Dortmund last season.
The 41-year-old is a highly-rated coach and led the Bundesliga outfit to the Champions League final last term, losing 2-0 to Real Madrid, before opting to end his two-year stint in charge of the team.
Terzic is now reportedly on a shortlist of names United are considering if they do opt to sack Ten Hag in weeks to come – and Sancho has already given a glowing appraisal of his old boss after working together at Dortmund.
Sancho posted a tribute to Terzic after his exit from the club was announced in June, thanking him for “trusting” him after he was loaned to the German giants, having been frozen out by Ten Hag.

Terzic is said to be under consideration by United as a possible replacement
Sancho was given 21 appearances in the yellow shirt by Terzic, who started him in the final defeat against Madrid. The England winger has since secured a loan move to Chelsea, with the Blues having an obligation to buy him for £25m next summer.
Terzic is not the only coach said to be under consideration by United. The club have also been linked with appointing Graham Potter, Thomas Tuchel – who held talks with owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe this summer – as well as ex-England boss Gareth Southgate.
United players are currently away on international duty but will return on October 19 for a must-win home game against Brentford.
