    Ruben Amorim has been lined up to replace Ten Hag and begin a rebuild at Old Trafford.

    But an incident following defeat against Bayern Munich last year suggests the new boss has his work cut out for him in changing the club’s mentality.

    The Red Devils were blown away 4-3 in a Champions League group stage clash at the Allianz Stadium in September 2023.

    Bayern took a two-goal lead through Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane.

    Goalkeeper André Onana had a night to forget, causing a series of thuds as United fell to a limp defeat.

    Harry Kane and Mathys Tel also got on the scoresheet, with Casemiro making the scoreline look respectable with two late goals.

    According to The timesTen Hag and his officials rubbed their eyes after returning to the locker room.

    United players are said to have congratulated themselves and each other for their performances.

    The report claims the unexpected reaction “sounded alarm bells” among the Dutchman and his coaching staff.

    Ten Hag failed to steady the ship, leading United to eighth place in the table. Premier League last season.

    ‘Ruben Amorim looks like Erik ten Hag again – Man Utd missed the perfect coach who has done it before,’ says Paul Scholes

    It was their worst performance in the top flight since 1990.

    An unexpected FA Cup final victory over rivals Manchester City virtually saved his job over the summer.

    But Ten Hag should have been dissuaded from his planned tactics for the showdown at Wembley by concerned technical director Darren Fletcher.

    The 54-year-old man received a reward of £15 million after his dismissal earlier this week.

    “After Friday’s match (against Estrela), we will have all these details. Then the decision will be known.
