Erik ten Hag has officially taken over as manager of Bayer Leverkusen.
Six Manchester United Stars Might Join Erik ten Hag at Leverkusen
Erik ten Hag’s move to Bayer Leverkusen could start a summer overhaul. Several Manchester United players are tipped to follow him to Germany. Young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo was once a standout under Ten Hag. He could be on the move due to a mismatch with current boss Ruben Amorim’s tactics. A move to Bundesliga may re-ignite his career.
Last season Alejandro Garnacho emerged as a Ten Hag favourite with his pace and technical ability. He also scored in the FA Cup final at the time. Rumour has it that Napoli are in the lead in race to sign him. But, Leverkusen would be an great club for the exciting winger.
Meanwhile, Rasmus Hojlund had a difficult second season in England. With interest from Serie A, the Dane might find the German top flight a better fit. Especially, with his Champions League record and Bundesliga’s history of developing Scandinavian talent.
Experienced Names Could Also Make the Switch
Aside from the young guns, some more seasoned names could be on radar. Andre Onana, who hasn’t hit top form since arriving at Old Trafford, may benefit from a fresh start. He had success under the Dutchman at Ajax. A move to Leverkusen might help him get back his confidence.
Christian Eriksen was one of the first signings Ten Hag made at Utd. His time in England never took off but he might bring stability and depth to the Leverkusen midfield.
Finally, Tyrell Malacia, another early signing, struggled with injuries. He hasn’t had a real chance to prove himself. Utd are keen to sell, and Leverkusen are looking at new defensive options. So, a reunion with his former manager might just revive his career.
