Ten Hag is now the first choice of the club management of Manchester United, many English media are sure. He made a good impression during a conversation. De Tukker would still have demanded that he be involved in the purchases for the next season.
The 52-year-old Ten Hag is still under contract with Ajax until the end of next season. But for Manchester United it will not be a problem to pay a transfer fee. A departure from Ten Hag would be bad for Ajax. The champion has also already said goodbye to director of football affairs Marc Overmars, after a long period of transgressive behaviour.
Ten Hag does not want to say anything about Manchester United. The trainer does not even want to confirm that he has already spoken with the management of the English top club. Manchester United are looking for a new head coach as interim manager Ralf Rangnick leaves at the end of the season. “We will play the cup final against PSV next week,” said Ten Hag. “I’ll focus on that if you don’t mind.”
