Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag might be a subject of interest from Bayern Munich in near future.
According to Sjors Ultee, Erik ten Hag could be pursued by Bayern Munich in a few years if the Dutchman could prove to be successful in implementing an exciting brand of football at Old Trafford.
Significant efforts have been made to provide the Manchester United manager with all the possible resources in his first year in charge. And improvements have already been witnessed in his first few months.
The Red Devils are trying to create a new identity following a number of awful seasons. And the Manchester United hierarchy has had to make some bold decisions which seemingly have put the club in the right direction.
On-field performance has been the only goal behind ten Hag’s rigorous approach. And players like Cristiano Ronaldo have not been spared either. The Portuguese international had started his pre-season training a few weeks behind and had to start from the bench despite being one of the most successful players of his generation.
Club captain Harry Maguire has been told he will not have a guaranteed place and can only return to the starting lineup if he performs on a consistent basis. Ruthlessness could be a catalyst to Manchester United’s long-term success. And the club’s hierarchy believes the former Ajax manager is the right man to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson.
From David Moyes to Jose Mourinho, Old Trafford has seen the arrival and departure of a number of top-class managers. But none of them has succeeded regularly.
Early signs have been pretty encouraging, and the wins over Liverpool and Arsenal are just the start of a bright future. Bayern Munich are unlikely to make any approach in the near future as Julian Nagelsmann seems to have the freedom of managing his side according to his comfort zone.
But if the Bavarian giants fail to churn out successful performances consistently, then a managerial change could be an option. Ten Hag signed a three-year contract with Manchester United. But if he delivers in his first season, fresh terms will definitely be tabled in order to extend his association with the club, even if Bayern Munich come calling.
