Manchester United fear appointing Erik ten Hag might result in a backlash from supporters.
United are said to have reservations about Ten Hag following his interview with club bosses, because he has never managed a club close to being as big. Talks with Ten Hag were said to be positive, but United still have reservations about him being a big enough character to handle the challenge he would face with the fallen giants.
It remains to be seen if Ten Hag goes on to be viewed as the right fit for a club that is desperate to get back to the top of English and European football. Ten Hag, 52, was interviewed for the Tottenham job in the wake of Jose Mourinho ’s sacking.
