Bayern Munich are interested in appointing Erik Ten Hag in the summer, but the Dutchman wants to stay at Manchester United.
According to Sky Sports, Erik ten Hag emerged as Bayern Munich’s latest managerial candidate ahead of their quest to replace Thomas Tuchel. The Manchester United man seems uninterested in leaving his post at Old Trafford, which could pressure INEOS to make a swift decision on his future.
Bayern Munich keen on Erik ten Hag
Bayern Munich is facing a challenging market period in their search for a new manager ahead of the new season. The Bavarians have recently faced rejection from any top candidates to replace Thomas Tuchel, with incoming West Ham boss Jule Lopetegui the latest to reject their overtures.
Apart from the Spaniard, former Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangick rejected the Bavarians alongside Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso. It’s a challenging period for Bayern, which has added Manchester United man Erik ten Hag to their list.
Erik ten Hag’s job has come under the scanner, with reports suggesting Manchester United are working to replacing the Dutchman. The new management under INEOS is set to be aggressive in their approach, which could cause the former Ajax man to lose his job.
Ten Hag does not want to leave, as per another report on TalkSport, which could add to the speculation on INEOS’s plans ahead of the summer. Bayern will not take the rejection out of hand, with the Dutchman not explicitly suggesting he would not be open to the move to the Bundesliga.
Ten Hag’s decision to pressurise INEOS?
With performances not improving on the pitch, there is undoubtedly a significant blame on the injuries to key players this season. However, it appears Manchester United have squandered their chance to finish within the Champions League places, and that may come as another black mark on TenHag’ss reign so far.
However, while he intends to stay here and build for the future, INOES might be pressured to decide on his job, especially with Bayern now lurking about. The plan may p[lay out well for Ten Hag, with the Manchester United man wanting a clear-cut decision from the new management about what they think about the club and his immediate future.
