Ajax star Sebastien Haller sends Manchester United warning to Erik ten Hag

Ajax striker Sebastien Haller has sent his current boss Erik ten Hag a warning ahead of potentially becoming the new manager at Manchester United.

Haller has been in sparkling form under Ten Hag this season in the Netherlands. The 27-year-old has managed to bag 33 goals in 35 appearances for the Amsterdam club.

The Manchester Evening News reported two weeks ago that Ten Hag is United's preferred option for the role at the Theatre of Dreams. Ten Hag has been interviewed for the job but Manchester United have confirmed that they have interviewed more than one candidate for the role.

When discussing Ten Hag's potential move to England, Haller offered up a warning to his manager. He told CNN : "He’s clever, he knows his strengths but also his weaknesses. I think he’s trying to become better every day, so of course, he’s trying to be there for the players, trying to keep everyone involved in the team.

"But I want to say that every dressing room is different, every team is different, so you need to act a bit differently. It depends on the dressing room you have so maybe his quality today can be a weakness somewhere else.

"So let’s see how he does." The former West Ham man then added: "I think we all understand. It’s the choice from the coach to choose what he wants. We are just his players.

"I am just grateful for what he did for me and I just hope that he will take the best decision for himself. I have nothing to say because I don’t even know everything inside Manchester United and the way they really want him.

"I can just say that he needs to follow his heart, his brain, and take the right decision."
