Rene Meulensteen has already outlined his views on the future of Manchester United amid suggestions could return to Old Trafford as assistant manager. Manchester United are set to appoint Erik ten Hag and Ajax expect their coach to succeed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on a permanent basis.
Key figures at United maintain that no deal has been formalised, although it appears to be a matter of time before Ten Hag officially takes the reigns. Manchester Evening News revealed three weeks ago the Dutchman was viewed as a preferred candidate amid competition from Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino.
As for Meulensteen, the 58-year-old has been mooted as a possible assistant. Currently working in a similar role in the Australia national team set-up, the fellow Dutchman spent six seasons at Old Trafford under their legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson and also spent time developing Academy players.
