Martin Tyler makes a surprise suggestion on who should be next Man Utd manager

Martin Tyler has given a left-field suggestion on who he believes should be considered as the next Manchester United manager.

Pressure is continuing to grow on current boss Erik ten Hag after the Red Devils lost 4-0 to Crystal Palace to fall out of the European qualification places in the Premier league table.

It was the latest episode in what has been a disastrous season for United on and off-the-field, but the minority take over of Sir Jim Ratcliffe has provided cautious optimism for the future.

While it has been reported that Ten Hag will be given the chance to turn his fortunes around next season, it is possible Ratcliffe will look for a new leader to take the team forward come the end of the season.

While there are a number of potential suitors for the job worldwide, former commentator Tyler has suggested a British manager should take the job, referencing one manager in particular.

'I've said Sean Dyche should be considered by Manchester United,' he said on the Joy of Football Podcast. 'Gareth Southgate is being considered by Manchester United, 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. 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's straight on the back of Fergie. It's a terribly difficult job to follow. And since then, obviously people have come and gone without... have Manchester United lost that DNA that they had?

'I would suggest probably they 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 reverence by so many people, that maybe that's the way forward. But you have people that are way above my pay grade.'

Dyche has led Everton to safety in the Premier League this season despite the Toffees suffering a six-point deduction for breaching Profitability and Sustainability Rules.

The club are 15th in the table with two games remaining, and Dyche has widely been praised for his work at the club to help settle off-field nerves on it.

The likes of Roberto De Zerbi and Zinedine Zidane have been linked with the role, meanwhile, while Ten Hag has been rumoured to be of interest to Bayern Munich.

Tyler called it a day from commentating on games for Sky Sports last season after 33 years in the role.

He is widely regarded as one of the best commentators of all time, and has since been replaced by Peter Drury as the main mouthpiece on Sky.
