Ten Hag On Bayern Shortlist To Take Over From Tuchel This Summer

Bayern Munich have placed Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag on a new list of possible successors to Thomas Tuchel.

According to Sky Sports Bayern have gotten in touch with Ten Hag’s agent Kees Vos to enquire if the Dutchman would be open to taking over at the Allianz Arena.

No formal talks have taken place with the United head coach himself, but he has been made aware of Bayern’s interest.

Ten Hag communicated to his people that his sole focus is on finishing the season strongly with the Old Trafford side, who still want to secure European football and win the FA Cup.

The 54-year-old, who has been confident of remaining at the club beyond the summer despite the uncertainty over his position as INEOS make sweeping changes to the football structure, is held in high esteem by Bayern.

Bayern’s hierarchy believe Ten Hag’s coaching has been hampered by a litany of off-field issues and a poor operational set-up at United.

His work at Ajax and his debut season in England has been given more credence than the current injury-riddled campaign, in which Ten Hag also had to manage through a protracted takeover.

He is not the only candidate the former Bundesliga champions have turned to after Ralf Rangnick became the latest man to turn their offer down after Julian Nagelsmann and Xabi Alonso.
