Bayern Munich and Ajax are monitoring the situation of Erik ten Hag closely, as an exit from Manchester United looms large.
According to The Daily Mirror, Bayern Munich and Ajax are monitoring the situation of Erik ten Hag closely ahead of the summer. The Euro giants are eager to appoint the Manchester United man in their dugout, but the Red Devils’ feelings about the Dutchman’s position at Old Trafford after the season will determine their decision.
Bayern Munich and Ajax keen on Erik ten Hag
Bayern Munich are in a confused state with their managerial position. Although they may have tried their best to keep hold of Thomas Tuchel, the German tactician finally decided to leave the Bavarian outfit. This will make the club look for a new manager in the summer, as Erik ten Hag’s name has come up as an option.
It is not as simple as approaching the manager and getting a deal in place, as ten Hag may not have the intention of leaving Manchester United just yet. The Dutchman is waiting to see how the club and INEOS plan for next season, which could also result in his sacking after the FA Cup Final.
Bayern will also have other options on their list for their vacant managerial position. Hansi Flick has also been mooted as a name they might reconsider bringing back to the club. However, they are also seriously looking at ten Hag, and Ajax are also considering bringing back their former manager.
Ajax have had a terrible season by their standards, and now they will want to achieve instant success next season. For that reason alone, they are tracking Erik ten Hag as a potential option, although in truth, they might struggle to convince him of a return, especially now that a club like Bayern Munich are interested in the Dutchman.
Manchester United’s decision pending over Ten Hag
It’s come down to a point where many are waiting to see who blinks first between INEOS and Ten Hag. The club might have to pay around 10 million in compensation. However, if the Dutchman decides to walk away if he feels the club’s plans do not suit him, then the Red Devils may not have to pay him anything that day.
Meanwhile, there are big doubts Manchester United might stick with him, and instead, Sir Ratcliffe will decide to part ways. As things stand, Ten Hag may leave, and even an FA Cup Final victory may not help his cause. In any case, he will have a set of suitors should he part ways with Old Trafford.
