The Cape Town native has been credited with helping Marcus Rashford achieve a career high in goals scored last season. He is also believed to be popular among United players and staff.
However, with no renewal looming, he now looks destined for an exit at the end of the season. There are doubts over Ten Hag’s long-term future at the club, according to the same report.
New United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS director of sport, Sir Dave Brailsford, have not yet been persuaded that the Dutchman is the right man for the job. It is further claimed that a final decision on his future will be left to the incoming sporting and technical directors.
The likes of Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Liverpool are all looking for new managers. This could leave other clubs, such as the Red Devils, with fewer options for the position.
