Manchester United are currently in the process of looking for a new manager and the Manchester Evening News understands that Erik ten Hag has been interviewed for the role. Nothing has yet been rubber-stamped and the club are keen to assess all options available before making a final decision.
Amid the speculation over who will be appointed, former United manager Louis van Gaal was asked for his opinion on the Ajax boss potentially joining his old club, and the Netherlands head coach was as blunt in his response as you'd expect. “I think Erik ten Hag is a great coach, he has shown that several times," he said. "And a great coach is always good for United.
But in terms of whether he would advise Ten Hag to join United, he added: “Manchester United is a commercial club and those are difficult choices for a coach. It is better to go to a football club. I'm not going to supervise his career and he will call me himself. But he should choose a football club, not a commercial club.”
