Louis van Gaal believes Erik ten Hag should turn down the chance to manage Manchester United if he is offered the job this year. The 52-year-old was interviewed for the role last week and is currently seen as the prime candidate for the position.
United are not expecting anything 'imminent' concerning their managerial situation, with Ten Hag currently edging ahead of Mauricio Pochettino in their search for a new permanent boss.
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 and remains under consideration by United, with Spain coach Luis Enrique and Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui regarded as outsiders.
