Erik ten Hag is reportedly prepared to snub the offer of becoming Manchester United manager if he is unable to put his own stamp on an ageing squad.
The Ajax boss is the overwhelming favourite to be named the next permanent head coach and has already completed interviews with Old Trafford chiefs. Mauricio Pochettino is another name in the frame, but Ten Hag was said to have impressed the hiring committee with his vision for the future.
Although a deal has yet to be agreed upon with either his current club or Ten Hag himself, there was a growing optimism that it would be completed before the end of the current season. However, the Times now state that he has the option to join a ‘major Bundesliga club’ and wants assurances before making a final decision.
