Manchester United Reportedly Interview Ajax Manager Erik ten Hag for Head Coach’s Role Next Season
The Ajax head coach was a frontrunner for the job and now it seems that he is the favorite to become Manchester United's new head coach for the next season. Ralf Rangnick, who is currently in charge of Manchester United, would step into a consultancy role at the club after this season.
It seems that Manchester United have zeroed in on picking their new coach for next season as reports have surfaced claiming that the club interviewed Erik Hen Tag for the role. Hen Tag, currently Ajax's manager, has been a frontrunner for the top job at Manchester United and it seems now that he could be the new Red Devils' boss after reports of him being interviewed earlier this week by the club, surfaced. Noted Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed this development and also stated that Manchester United would consider other factors and interview other prospective candidates for the head coach's role.

According to reports, PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino and Sevilla head coach Julen Lopetegui are also being considered for the job. Following a torrid run of results, United parted ways with club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as head coach and handed over reigns of the club to Ralf Rangnick. United did show signs of improvement under the German but have lost all opportunities of winning a trophy this season.
Their latest result was a loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on March 16 at Old Trafford, which saw them being knocked out of the competition. However, Manchester United have an opportunity of getting something out of what has been a difficult season by finishing within the top four in the Premier League. But that would take some doing as they have to fend off some serious competition from the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
