Manchester United should consider Sean Dyche as an Erik ten Hag replacement, according to legendary commentator Martin Tyler.
Ten Hag’s position at United is looking increasingly precarious after a 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday evening.
United were dismantled by strikes from Michael Olise, Jean-Phillipe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell, with the club having now conceded 81 goals this term, their most in a single campaign since 1977.

And Tyler claimed that United should target an English manager as an alternative to Ten Hag, citing Southgate and Everton boss Dyche as options.
The former Sky Sports commentator said: “I’ve said Sean Dyche should be considered by Manchester United.
“Gareth Southgate is being considered by Manchester United we believe and Sean maybe as well because it’s a fresh point of view.

“And they need some freshness and they need a different point of view. A different sense of purpose.
“And maybe if you were sitting around a table with all those new influences at Manchester United, you could make the point and make the case that actually what you do need is something a bit closer to home.
“It was tough for David Moyes because it was straight off the back of Fergie. You know, it’s a terribly difficult job to follow and since then, people have come and gone without.

“Have Manchester United lost that DNA that they had? I would suggest they probably have. So maybe somebody who’s grown up in the country where Manchester United have had all those years of success and looked upon with such reverence by so many people that, maybe that’s the way forward.”
According to transfer guru Santi Aouna, England boss Gareth Southgate is United's "top target" should they sack Ten Hag.
The journalist alleged that while no deal has yet been agreed, the situation could "develop soon".
