According to Dutch football journalist Mike Verweij, if United make a move, Tenhag will leave Ajax this summer to coach at Old Trafford.
United's hopes of success this season are already very slim, with Tottenham beating West Ham on Sunday and surpassing the Red Devils in points, with Lonnick's side currently falling to 6th in the table. This summer, the club may make changes, Ronnick will not turn regular, he can only strive to be a consultant as originally planned.
United are currently looking for a new official manager and Tenhag is considered the current target of choice. The 52-year-old Dutchman has been in charge of Ajax since 2017 and is averaging 2.35 points per game. Velvey revealed that Tenhag had previously reached a "gentleman's agreement" with the club's sporting director, Overmars, that if the club paid him a substantial offer, he would be allowed to leave the club.
Today, Overmars has been forced to resign over the alleged scandal, but Ajax president and former Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar will still keep that promise and lend a helping hand to his old club. This means that as long as United are willing to pay the severance payment, Ajax will not object to Tenhag's departure. Tenhag only has one year left on his contract, the cost of termination is not high, and the British media predicts that it will only cost 7.5 million pounds.
Velvey also revealed that Tenhag would not take his entire coaching staff with him. "I don't think all of Tenhag's coaching staff will leave, I've heard he's only going to take away assistant coach Mitchell van der Gaag."
On Sunday, Tenhag led the team to an important victory. Trailing 2-1 at half-time, Ajax won 3-2 thanks to goals from Tadić and Anthony in the second half to continue their two-point lead over Eindhoven in the table. After the international match, the two teams will meet at Cruyff Arena in mid-April, and the winner is likely to be the eredivisie champions of this season. In addition, the two teams will also meet in the Dutch Cup final.
If Tenhag can win the domestic double, he will bid farewell to Ajax with a desirable ending, and Manchester United are more likely to get him. Moreover, in this week's air competition, Tenhag also beat another Manchester United manager, Pochettino. Paris Saint-Germain visited Monaco in this round and lost 3-0 at the feet of their opponents.
Although Paris still has a 12-point lead in the table, Ligue 1 victory is not a problem, but the fiasco has put Pochettino's coaching ability in question. The French "Team Newspaper" said that Uncle Bo intends to continue to stay in Paris to prove his ability, and he hopes to gain the club's higher decision-making power and strive to win the Champions League.
Pochettino said: "We have to work with the club to find the best way to work together. This means that we need to adjust our ideas, plans and methods. There are a lot of questions that need to be looked into in order for a coach like us to achieve the same ideas and goals as Paris Saint-Germain."
Premier League football journalist David Ornstein confirmed that although the rumors have included Tuchel, Ancelotti and other famous managers in the list of new managers in Manchester United's rumored list, it has always been a dispute between Tenhag and Pochettino. 'I would be surprised if it wasn't for Tenhag or Pochettino at the helm of Manchester United. "Chelsea manager Tuchel is not leaving and is therefore not on The Manchester United's candidacy," Orenstein said.
