Recent reports suggest that Erik Ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, might leave Old Trafford soon. After some uncertainty about his future at Manchester United, it now seems likely that the Dutch coach could move on next season. Bayern Munich has considered him for their coaching role since they couldn’t hire former United manager Ralf Rangnick. While Bayern has talked with Ten Hag’s agents, they haven’t yet spoken directly to him.
This uncertainty comes as there’s been little improvement at the club since Ten Hag started two years ago. Although the United owners haven’t decided to fire him yet, they might let him go if they feel changes are needed before next season. Meanwhile, Ten Hag is looking at other possibilities in case United decides to dismiss him in the next few months.
