Erik Ten Hag, who was dismissed a few weeks ago as Manchester United's coach, is experiencing a challenging moment in his professional career. Even though he arrived at the club with high expectations, the team failed to consolidate, and the results left much to be desired.
After his departure, Manchester United decided to appoint Rubén Amorim as their new coach. However, the Portuguese hasn't managed to get the team back on track, and the club continues to accumulate more losses than wins.
The situation at Old Trafford is becoming increasingly critical, and Amorim's future could also soon be in doubt if the results don't improve for the "Red Devils". The team hasn't been able to find stability, and expectations remain unmet.
Erik Ten Hag's New Team
Meanwhile, Erik Ten Hag's future seems already decided. According to reports from Germany, the Dutch coach, who left a positive mark at Ajax, could be the next coach of Borussia Dortmund.
The German team, which is going through a period of losses with Nuri Sahin, seems to have decided to take action and dismiss the former Turkish footballer. In his place, Dortmund's management has set their sights on Ten Hag, hoping to regain the competitiveness and level that has historically characterized the club.
With Ten Hag aiming for his new project at Borussia Dortmund, the Dutch coach is already thinking about how to strengthen his team and is considering Barça.
The Dutchman Asks for Frenkie De Jong Again
In this context, according to "El Nacional.cat," Ten Hag has set his sights on Barça for reinforcements. The name that stands out the most on his list, as expected, is Frenkie de Jong. Since his time at Ajax, Ten Hag has had a special relationship with De Jong, whom he considers one of the most complete midfielders in European soccer.
His time at Manchester United made it clear that the Dutch coach always wanted him on his team, and now at Dortmund, he seems determined to bring him along. De Jong, meanwhile, is in a delicate situation at Barça, as his contract expires in 2026 and the Catalan club doesn't want him to leave for free.
Barcelona's management is aware that if an agreement isn't reached with him in the short term, the midfielder could leave at no cost in two years. That's why Barça is considering a sale this upcoming summer market, hoping to receive an attractive offer. Ten Hag, who has always shown his admiration for De Jong, could become a key factor in securing his transfer for Borussia Dortmund.
