Manchester United board have refused Erik Ten Hag’s proposal
to appoint Steve McClaren as his assistant manager at Old Trafford.
Man United on Thursday finally announced the signing of the
Ajax coach on a three-year deal – with the option for a fourth.
Ten Hag will officially take over the reins at Old Trafford,
replacing Ralf Rangnick once the season is over.
Ten Hag wants to bring his existing coaching set-up at Ajax
with him to Man United but he also wants to add someone with knowledge of the
Red Devils to his backroom staff.
However, according to the Telegraph, Man United’s board have
shown ‘resistance’ to the idea and there is uncertainty over whether Ten Hag
will get his way.
Man United’s board want Ten Hag to analyse the existing
staff that are already at Old Trafford before making any decision on bringing
McClaren with him to the Theater of Dreams.
Meanwhile, McClaren worked under former Man United manager
Sir Alex Ferguson for two years between 1999 and 2001, helping the club to
three league titles and the treble in his first season.
Ten Hag was McClaren’s assistant at FC Twente, where
McClaren credits the Dutchman for helping him to the Eredivisie title in his
second season.
