Jaap Stam interested in Manchester United coaching role

Manchester United favourite Jaap Stam says he would love to return to the club in a coaching capacity under their next permanent manager. United have accelerated plans in their search for a new first-team boss over the international break, with Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino still the two front-runners for the role.

The club are not expecting anything 'imminent' concerning their managerial situation after interviewing Ajax coach Ten Hag last week. The Manchester Evening News revealed earlier this month that Ten Hag is United's preferred candidate to become their next permanent manager, edging ahead of Pochettino.

Ajax have refused to comment on Ten Hag's future and the Dutchman is out of contract in 2023. Pochettino is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season.
