Despite that first setback, Manchester United remain third in the Premier League – they were fifth at the time of Amorim’s sacking – and on course to qualify for next season’s Champions League. De Zerbi, 46, enjoyed an impressive spell at Brighton before leaving the Premier League in 2024 and taking over at Marseille. De Zerbi has aspirations of returning to the Premier League and is ‘keen’ to take over at Manchester United, according to The Telegraph. Five straight Premier League defeats has left Tottenham 16th in the table, just one point above the dreaded drop zone. The tests do not get any easier for Spurs, who face reigning Premier League champions Liverpool on Sunday.
