Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is taking a step closer on returning to management after leaving Old Trafford in October 2024.
The Dutch manager took charge of United in 2022 and during his two and a half season stint with the Red Devils won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
However, United also experienced their worst-ever Premier League finishing position at the time, ending last season in eighth, and were on track for an even worse run this campaign.
The United hierarchy made the choice to sack ten Hag in October, replacing him with Ruben Amorim, although the Portuguese manager hasn’t been able to turn the club around yet.
Since then ten Hag has been linked to several jobs such as AS Roma, however the most high profile comes with current links to Bayer Leverkusen.
