Manchester United supporters are predicting that Erik ten Hag might have taken a step closer to the Old Trafford dugout after Ajax were eliminated from the Champions League.
As the dust continues to settle on defeat for United in the same competition, one of the coaches tipped to replace Ralf Rangnick has also been sent packing. Despite earning a 2-2 draw from their first-leg meeting with Benfica, there was no way through for Ajax and the highly-rated Ten Hag.
Darwin Nunez secured victory for Benfica in Amsterdam. It means United and the two frontrunners to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - Ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino - will not feature in the last eight this season.
