Ajax have made Eric Ten Haga their number one target for the role of the new head coach and are ready to give the Manchester United coach until June 1 to make a decision.
It was from Ajax that Ten Hug arrived at United in the summer of 2022, but Eric’s second season at Old Trafford is going very badly.
Ten Hag will find it difficult to keep his job if United fail to qualify for the Champions League and defeat Manchester City in the FA Cup final on May 25.
Previously, former Chelsea coach Graham Potter was associated with the appointment at Ajax, as well as Albert Stavenberg, who works as an assistant to Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, but talkSPORT claims that Ten Hag is at the head of the Amsterdam club’s shortlist.
Ajax bosses understand that Ten Hag is currently focused on the end of the season, so they are ready to wait until June 1. By then, the 54-year-old Dutchman will have to decide whether he wants to return to his former club.
