Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has advised Manchester United to appoint Roberto De Zerbi as Erik ten Hag’s replacement in the near future.
Ten Hag is currently under intense pressure at Old Trafford after a series of poor results this season.
De Zerbi, meanwhile, has massively improved Brighton since taking charge of the club in 2022.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Collymore feels De Zerbi is a world-class coach and the perfect candidate to manage the Red Devils.
“That club needs a certain type of manager, and while there are some suitable candidates out there, for me, there is one clear favourite for the job. Brighton and Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi to Manchester United? — Absolutely! I know the Seagulls’ recent results have not been anywhere near good enough but take nothing away from De Zerbi,” Collymore said.
“He is a world-class coach but his personality and man-management skills also make him an ideal candidate.”
