The ex-Premier League striker has urged United to target an alternative candidate with whom Potter will be all too familiar.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag&#8217;s position is under intense scrutiny after United&#8217;s 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich on Tuesday confirmed their Champions League group-stage elimination.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Devils accumulated four points to finish bottom of Group A behind Bayern, FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray, the club&#8217;s worst-ever Champions League campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag has overseen defeats in half of United&#8217;s 24 games in all competitions this season, with a daunting trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>The Sun report Sir Jim&#8217;s \u00a31.3billion deal to buy a 25 per cent stake in United is set to go through next week, allowing him to immediately take control of sporting decisions.<\/p>\n<p>And it&#8217;s claimed that the 71-year-old has already met Potter over potentially replacing Ten Hag in the Old Trafford dugout.<\/p>\n<p>The former Chelsea boss is said to be Sir Jim&#8217;s preferred candidate should he sack Ten Hag as one of his first major decisions on the United board.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click <\/strong><strong>here<\/strong><strong> to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Man Utd news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Man Utd to rival Arsenal for \u00a317m bargain as Chelsea deal &#8216;blocked'[TRANSFERS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Man-Utd-are-reportedly-eyeing-Graham-Potter-5114869.jpg?r=1702547949428\"><\/p>\n<p>However, after his disastrous tenure at Chelsea last season, Agbonlahor isn&#8217;t convinced that Potter would be a good option.<\/p>\n<p>The 48-year-old lasted just seven months at Stamford Bridge, losing 11 of his 31 games in charge and achieving the lowest points-per-game return of any manager in Chelsea&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He [Potter] failed at Chelsea. He doesn&#8217;t deserve his next club after failing at Chelsea to be Manchester United. What does that say about Manchester United?&#8221; Agbonlahor told talkSPORT.<\/p>\n<p>Agbonlahor instead believes United should attempt to lure Roberto De Zerbi away from Brighton and Hove Albion if they make a managerial change in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd players hand Sir Jim Ratcliffe &#8216;four reasons&#8217; to sack Erik ten Hag[REPORT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Zidane has removed obstacle blocking Man Utd job as board &#8216;shortlist quartet'[NEWS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd and Tottenham could be rescued by new Champions League rules[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Gabby-Agbonlahor-Man-Utd-should-go-for-Roberto-De-Zerbi-5114875.jpg?r=1702547949589\"><\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;I understand what you&#8217;re saying, but they should go for someone and say, &#8216;You know what, Brighton, how much for [Roberto] De Zerbi?
