Erik ten Hag is 100% committed to Manchester United after being placed on a new list of possible successors to Thomas Tuchel.
Sky Sports on Sunday suggested the Bundesliga giants have touched base with Ten Hag’s agent, Kees Vos, to enquire if the Dutchman would be open to taking over at the Allianz Arena.
While no formal talks have taken place between Ten Hag and Bayern, the United boss has been made aware of the German’s interest and it’s a club he knows well after previously working there.
Melissa Reddy reports: “Ten Hag communicated to his people that his sole focus is on finishing the season strongly with the Old Trafford side, who still want to secure European football and win the FA Cup.
“The 54-year-old, who has been confident of remaining at the club beyond the summer despite the uncertainty over his position as INEOS make sweeping changes to the football structure, is held in high esteem by Bayern.”
Bayern Munich are having great difficulty in their search for a new manager after seemingly making their mind up about Tuchel earlier this season.
Even Ralf Rangnick has opted to remain Austria’s national team manager instead of taking over Germany’s biggest club.
It was also noted that Bayern’s hierarchy believe Ten Hag’s coaching has been hampered by a litany of off-field issues and a poor operational set-up at United. Does it come across anyone else’s mind that INEOS, along with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, may be thinking the same?
Ten Hag is committed to United
Any suggestions that Ten Hag may be off amid Bayern’s interest have been quickly dismissed by BBC Sport reporter Simon Stone, who believes the United boss is fully committed to the cause at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag still has a year left on his contract to concentrate on the job at hand.
