Erik ten Hag has been told there's no better time than the present to join Manchester United as he continues to be linked with the Premier League club.
The Ajax manager is still the leading candidate to take over from interim boss Ralf Rangnick when the German moves into a consultancy role, though his pursuit of a league and cup double with Ajax means no announcement on his future is expected until after Sunday's KNVB Cup final. Ten Hag is understood to still be weighing up a number of options, with RB Leipzig interested in addition to United.
With United's European qualification hopes hanging by a thread after Saturday's defeat at Everton, the 52-year-old could even opt to stay in Amsterdam. However, former Dutch international midfielder Ibrahim Afellay has told his compatriot now would be the perfect time to take over at Old Trafford.
