Man Utd news: Erik ten Hag ‘has heart set on Old Trafford job’ and starts preparing | Football | Sport
Ten Hag has also been linked with Manchester City in the past.
However, there’s no indication Pep Guardiola will leave just yet with the Spaniard committed to the Etihad outfit until 2023.
If Ten Hag does take over, he’ll become United’s fifth permanent manager since Ferguson’s retirement nine years ago.
David Moyes was the first but, ultimately, the Scot lasted just 10 months before being relieved of his duties.
Louis van Gaal won the FA Cup in 2016 yet was axed regardless, having failed to steer the club into the Champions League.
Jose Mourinho came next and, with two trophies in his first season, made an instant impact.
