Graham Potter has emerged as a potential candidate to succeed Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, as the Dutch manager struggles to keep his job amid a challenging start to the new season. Despite the growing speculation, Potter has remained tight-lipped regarding the possibility of replacing Ten Hag. Manchester United’s poor performance, including a crushing defeat to Tottenham, has put immense pressure on Ten Hag, who is now at risk of losing his position. Although the club is likely to stand by him for the time being, further disappointments could lead to his dismissal, positioning Potter as a possible contender for the role.

When questioned about the rumors of his interest in the United job, Potter diplomatically declined to engage, telling *Monday Night Football*, “No, I’m sitting here enjoying this challenge of answering your questions. That’s where I’m at at the moment.” He emphasized that he takes media speculation with a grain of salt, highlighting the emotional nature of football and the inevitable criticism that comes with poor performances. Potter, who has experienced similar pressures during his time at Chelsea, expressed empathy for Ten Hag’s current situation and underscored the importance of maintaining perspective in challenging times.
