Erik ten Hag is assessing his leadership options at Manchester United amid a failed late plea to Nemanja Matic.
Harry Maguire's position as the Red Devils' skipper is under scrutiny following a disappointing campaign. The £80million signing from Leicester City's domestic form has seen any question his place for England ahead of the winter World Cup.
Ten Hag has been tasked with a major overhaul at Old Trafford, and the former Ajax boss is said to be concerned by the lack of leadership in his dressing room. The Dutchman was reportedly keen on keeping Nemanja Matic at the club for a further season due to the former Chelsea midfielder's 'good influence' behind the scenes, according to The Athletic.
