Steve McClaren is under consideration for a shock return to Old Trafford as potential new manager Erik ten Hag’s number two.
Ajax manager Erik ten Hag is believed to be close to becoming the new manager of Manchester United after impressing chiefs in an interview, as well as his strong record in Holland, winning two Eredivisie titles as well as taking the Amsterdam side to the Champions League semi-finals.
McClaren has already had success working with Ten Hag before, with the former England manager employing him as his assistant when he took over at Dutch side Twente during 2008-9, taking the club to second in the league before winning the side their first ever title a year later.
