Manchester United and Chelsea could be about to go head-to-head for Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna; McKenna’s reps have met with Man Utd, Sky Sports News has learned; Ipswich Town majority shareholder Ed Schwartz has flown into the UK from the USA for talks with CEO Mark Ashton and McKenna
Sky Sports News has also learned that Ipswich Town majority shareholder Ed Schwartz has flown into the UK from the United States for talks with the club’s chief executive officer Mark Ashton and McKenna.
It is understood discussions are over a proposed new deal for McKenna. Ipswich want him to remain at the club and hope a lucrative offer may convince him to stay.
McKenna is one of three names being considered by Chelsea to replace Mauricio Pochettino who left by mutual consent earlier this week, alongside Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Leicester City’s Enzo Maresca.
But the news that Manchester United have made initial approaches to McKenna too, in case they decide to change their manager after this weekend’s FA Cup Final, has added a complex new dimension to the situation.
McKenna has been joined on United’s four-man shortlist by Pochettino and former Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel, who are both free agents, along with Frank.
Should United lose to Manchester City at Wembley, there would be no European football at Old Trafford next season, after an eighth-placed finish in the Premier League.
Sky Sports News has been told that McKenna’s representatives met with the new Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada and technical director Jason Wilcox last week, where the prospect of him taking over the first team was discussed.
Manchester United declined to comment when contacted by Sky Sports News.
The club’s focus is on the FA Cup final, with no decisions before then, and the season will be reviewed after the City match.
Meanwhile, SSN understands Ipswich want McKenna to stay and lead the club on their return to the Premier League.
Ten Hag said recently he is confident “common sense” will prevail when his bosses decide whether to keep him on as manager. He also said on Thursday his sole focus is on winning the FA Cup rather than talk about the potential of it being his final match as Manchester United manager.
United are looking to salvage a poor, injury-hit season by beating their neighbours City at Wembley. They bowed out of Europe before Christmas and limped home in eighth place – their lowest ever Premier League finish – as speculation continues over boss Ten Hag’s future.
Asked about some people suggesting this weekend’s final could be his last match as United manager, Ten Hag chuckled and said: “I have nothing to say.
“I am just focusing on the job I have to do and that is first win the game on Saturday and then we are in the project. Keep going in the project.”
