Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United’s manager, may leave Old Trafford for another club next season. Despite uncertainty about Ten Hag’s future at United, recent reports suggest that the Dutch head coach is contemplating a departure from the club.
Sources reveal that Ten Hag’s management team has discussed a potential move with Bayern Munich if he is sacked by Manchester United. While Ten Hag’s contract with United extends until 2025, speculation suggests that he could be dismissed before next season if the club’s owners decide a change is necessary.
Although Ten Hag is open to staying at United to contribute to the club’s revival after INEOS’ investment earlier this year, discussions with Bayern Munich indicate that he is exploring other options. Bayern Munich has identified Ten Hag as a managerial candidate, especially after failing to secure Ralf Rangnick’s services. While discussions have occurred between Bayern and Ten Hag’s representatives, direct talks with the manager himself are pending.
In addition to Bayern Munich’s interest, reports suggest that two other clubs have shown interest in hiring Ten Hag, including a potential return to Ajax. Despite uncertainty about his future, Ten Hag has affirmed his commitment to United, emphasizing his focus on the ongoing project and his belief in the club’s trajectory.
United is expected to postpone any decision regarding Ten Hag’s future until after the FA Cup final, where they will face Manchester City. Whether victory in the final will secure Ten Hag’s position at Old Trafford or if his fate will be determined regardless remains to be seen. Despite speculation, Ten Hag has expressed his dedication to United, expressing confidence in the club’s direction and his role in shaping its future.
