Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has labelled Ajax manager Erik ten Hag as one of the "top coaches" in Europe — but insisted no names have yet been discussed by the club as they seek their next permanent manager.
The Dutchman and Mauricio Pochettino are among the candidates to become the long-term successor to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Rangnick is due to see out his time as temporary boss until the end of the season before undertaking a consultancy role at the club from July 1.
Reports have ramped up this week surrounding Ten Hag and the soon-to-be-vacant managerial position at Old Trafford. But Rangnick, who admires Ten Hag and his work at Ajax, has poured cold water on the links with the 52-year-old, for now.
