Manchester United are continuing their search for a new manager, with Erik ten Hag still the favourite among the club's board and the fanbase. The MEN Sport recently revealed that Ajax expect their boss to leave this summer, though former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino remains in contention for the top job at Old Trafford.
According to The Independent, Ten Hag has recently had another interview at United where he impressed, but it's claimed his potential new employers weren't 'blown away' following the meeting. Tottenham's hierarchy were reported to have had the same doubts about the Dutchman during their own managerial search last summer, with Nuno Espirito Santo subsequently hired and then fired within five months.
Pochettino is seen as plan B by many within the fanbase, but it seems that even under Ten Hag it will not be smooth sailing as he reportedly laid out a five-year plan to his potential employers which would hopefully see United return to the top. This would be a departure from the 'quick-fix' culture which has been prevalent over the past decade at the club.
