GRAHAM POTTER is one of the shock candidates to replace Erik ten Hag as Manchester United manager.
Pressure is building on Ten Hag after the Red Devils slumped to their SIXTH defeat in ten matches on Tuesday night at the hands of Galatasaray.

United are currently ROCK BOTTOM of their Champions League group after two matches and their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages of the tournament are hanging by a thread.
A Premier League title tilt is also highly unlikely as the Red Devils are currently toiling in TENTH place in the table.
Some of the Old Trafford faithful are wondering if Ten Hag – who is Sky Bet’s second favourite to be the next Prem boss axed – is the man to take the club forward.
A number of managers would gladly jump at the opportunity to replace the Dutchman – including the recently sacked Potter.
The 48-year-old is Paddy Power‘s fourth favourite to take charge of United should Ten Hag be relieved of his duties.
That’s despite his reign as Chelsea manager coming to an end in April – a mere seven months after his appointment.
Paddy Power have the former Brighton boss at 10/1 to take charge of the Old Trafford helm.
Potter’s replacement at the Amex Stadium – Roberto De Zerbi – is at shorter odds to succeed Ten Hag, with Paddy Power pricing him at 15/2.

Julian Nagelsmann, who has been out of work since being axed by Bayern Munich in March, is 5/1 to take the job after Ten Hag.
Zinedine Zidane, who won three Champions League titles with Real Madrid, is their favourite to take charge of the struggling Red Devils.
Paddy Power have Zizou at 4/1 to be Ten Hag’s successor at the Theatre of Dreams.
Former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick – who is currently in charge of Middlesborough – is an outside bet at 12/1.
And England boss Gareth Southgate is 16/1 to be in the Old Trafford dugout after Ten Hag.
Despite results on the pitch not being worthy of his £200million summer spending spree, Ten Hag insists he’s not feeling the heat.
He said: “Last season: brilliant, terrific, more than we could expect but also when we went into this project we knew there would be common gaps and in this moment we are in a very difficult period, as everyone can see.
“But we come out together, we are fighting together, we are sticking together, behind each other.
“It’s me, the directors, the team, all together, we will fight and this is not us.
“We know we have to do better and in togetherness we will come out.”
