Ajax has set their sights on a familiar face for their new head coach: Erik ten Hag. The Dutch giants are prepared to give the Manchester United boss until June 1st to decide on his future.
Ten Hag arrived at Old Trafford from Ajax in 2022, but his second season has been a struggle. Failure to qualify for the Champions League and a potential FA Cup final defeat on May 25th could put his job at United at risk.
Previously, Ajax explored options like former Chelsea boss Graham Potter and Arsenal assistant Albert Stavenberg. However, according to talkSPORT, Ten Hag is now their top target.
Understanding Ten Hag’s focus on the critical closing stages of the season with United, Ajax is willing to wait for his decision until June 1st. This timeframe coincides with key matches that will likely determine his fate at Manchester United.
Will Ten Hag return to his former stomping ground? Only time and the outcome of the coming weeks will tell.
