Dutch coach Louis van Gaal warned his compatriot Erik ten Haga against working at Manchester United, as he said the English club preferred commercial interests over sports. Ajax coach is one of the biggest favorites as a helmsman in the Red Devils organization since the summer of 2022.
Van Gaal has been leading United since 2014 and during his two years with the team he has only been able to win the English Cup. In 2016, he was replaced by José Mourinho, but he was also unable to build on the success of previous clubs, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who finished at the end of last year and was temporarily taken over by Ralf Rangnick, was also unsuccessful. In the summer, the club’s management wants to bring a coach to Old Trafford who can get the club back on its feet, and Erik ten Hag is the favorite.
“He’s a great coach and Manchester United knows that. But running a club that’s commercial is always hard for a coach. I think he should choose a team where football comes first.” said Van Gaal according to theathletic.com.
The fifty-two-year-old Ten Hag, which was also interested in Prague’s Sparta, has been leading Ajax since the 2017/2018 season. He won two titles with the club and in 2019 advanced to the semifinals of the Champions League with him. The experienced Louis van Gaal has been the coach of the Dutch national team since last summer.
