Manchester United has been linked with a surprise move for Everton manager Sean Dyche, according to legendary commentator Martin Tyler. With the pressure mounting on current manager Erik ten Hag, Tyler believes that Dyche could be the perfect candidate to restore the club’s lost DNA.
Ten Hag’s position at Old Trafford has been under scrutiny following a dismal campaign, and despite a potential FA Cup final victory over Manchester City, his future remains uncertain. Several high-profile names, including Graham Potter, Gareth Southgate, and Thomas Tuchel, have been linked with the potential vacancy.
However, Tyler believes that Dyche, who has worked wonders at Goodison Park despite a modest transfer budget and off-field drama, could be the ideal candidate to bring back the club’s traditional values. “Sean Dyche should be considered by Manchester United,” Tyler said on the Joy of Football podcast. “Gareth Southgate is being considered, we believe. And Sean maybe as well, because it is a fresh point of view and they need some freshness, they need a different point of view, a different sense of purpose.”
Dyche has transformed Everton into a defensive juggernaut, with only Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool conceding fewer goals than the Toffees this season. In contrast, Manchester United have become synonymous with being easy to play against, regularly conceding over 20 shots per game.
While there has been no official indication that Manchester United is considering Dyche, Tyler’s endorsement highlights the Everton manager’s credentials. Dyche’s ability to work under budget constraints and his experience in the Premier League make him an attractive option for a club looking to restore its former glory.
The move would be a surprise, but not unprecedented. Dyche has already proven himself as a capable manager, and his no-nonsense approach could be exactly what Manchester United needs to get back on track.
It remains to be seen if Manchester United will take Tyler’s advice and consider Dyche as a potential successor to Ten Hag. However, with the club’s current situation and the need for a fresh perspective, it is certainly an interesting idea to ponder.
