If Manchester United are to appoint Erik ten Hag, they will do so after the Ajax boss had his head turned by RB Leipzig.
Mirror Sport revealed that the Bundesliga giants have made an audacious attempt to coerce the 52-year-old manager from under United’s nose. Considering current interim manager Ralf Rangnick helped lay the foundations for Leipzig’s spectacular ascent ad consolidation as regular Champions League participants, such a move would be a painful irony.
As things stand, Leipzig will be able to offer Ten Hag the opportunity to compete in the Champions League with a young and ambitious squad that plays a style not too dissimilar to his Ajax side. But above all else, Ten Hag’s current reluctance is also understood to be attributed to the level of influence he feels he would have in player recruitment.
