Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna is being connected to Chelsea, Brighton, and Manchester United, but the team is not worried about the situation.
This season, McKenna garnered praise for steering Ipswich to an immediate promotion to the Premier League and upending the trio of teams that would have been in the top three in the Championship with parachute payments.
In light of the instability surrounding current manager Erik ten Hag, it is rumored that Manchester United is interested in McKenna.
..McKenna is highly desired by Brighton as well, and he is a strong candidate to succeed Roberto De Zerbi after his departure.
But now that Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino have parted ways, McKenna is reportedly on their list as well.
Ipswich are being composed despite the possibility that three Premier League teams are interested in their boss.
The Tractor Boys will be hoping that McKenna will decide to stay at Portman Road instead of accepting an offer from somewhere else.
In the worst case scenario, Ipswich has increased the amount of compensation they would be entitled to and stand to gain a cool £6 million.
