The post-match fallout at Manchester United portrays manager Ten Hag as a man on the brink, with rumors of potential conflict with his players and lack of public backing from the club’s owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe. There are also strong speculations linking Gareth Southgate as a potential replacement for Ten Hag after Euro 2024.
In the event of Ten Hag’s potential departure, there is a possibility of a job offer from his former club Ajax, where he enjoyed a successful stint before joining Manchester United in 2022. Ajax, which has undergone upheaval this season and is currently under interim coaching, reportedly has back-up plans in place if Ten Hag declines the offer.
Ten Hag’s time at Ajax saw significant achievements, including multiple league titles and cup victories, as well as a memorable Champions League run. A potential return to Ajax would likely be well-received by the club’s fans.
