Manchester United thinks about the future, or at least, in the one of his next trainer. Ralf Rangnick to leave Old Trafford bench in summer and the Mancunian directive is already looking for the one who will be his substitute. A very committed choice for the Red Devils, who after reaping a new season without titles and with qualification for the Champions League increasingly complicated, seeks to lay the foundations for a solid project. AND Erik Ten Hag is part of that strategy.
In fact, the current Ajax coach would have already been interviewed by United. What assures the Daily Mail, Ten Hag passed an interview with the Red Devils last Monday, but more candidates are expected to follow the same process in the coming days. For this reason, the Manchester team would be asking for caution about the speculations around Ten Hag.
At the beginning of March, the club leaders began the search process, which would have already concluded, and now they have begun the first talks with the possible chosen ones, among which would be Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine still directs Paris Saint-Germain and would have options to be the new technical director of United, although they would have diminished in recent dates.
In the environment of the former Espanyol coach there is a growing suspicion that the job will go to Ten Hag, who will have no impediments to leaving Ajax. As the same information explains, the relationship between the Dutch coach and the president of the club, Edwin van der Sar, is good and would facilitate his departure. An operation in which United would have to hit Ajax around five million euros, as compensation.
Nevertheless, the process is expected to be delayed and there could still be some news. Julen Lopetegui, who is currently coach of Sevilla, or Luis Enrique, of the Spanish National Team, They would also have sounded for the position, although the two alternatives seem very remote… and Ten Hag awaits events.
