Ipswich Town is facing the possibility of losing their manager Kieran McKenna, as Manchester United representatives have initiated talks with his agents. McKenna, who has led Ipswich to back-to-back promotions, is being considered as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag, whose future at United is uncertain due to a series of poor results this season.
Manchester United’s interest in McKenna comes amidst a backdrop of other clubs, including Chelsea and Brighton, also showing interest in the promising manager. The club’s leadership views McKenna as a suitable candidate, given his impressive track record with Ipswich and his previous experience at Manchester United as an assistant coach.
Ipswich Town, aware of the growing interest in their manager, has reportedly increased McKenna’s buyout clause from £4 million to £6 million following their promotion to the Premier League. Despite this, Manchester United appears undeterred and is expected to continue their pursuit, emphasizing the high regard in which they hold McKenna’s capabilities and potential fit for the role.
This development leaves Ipswich in a challenging position, as they seek to retain the manager who has been pivotal in their recent success, while Manchester United looks to secure a leader who can rejuvenate their squad and strategy moving forward.
