Manchester United will face competition from two other major European clubs for Ajax head coach Erik ten Hag, according to a report.

Manchester United will reportedly face competition from two other major European clubs for Ajax head coach Erik ten Hag.

The Red Devils are believed to have met with Ten Hag earlier this week to discuss the Dutchman moving to Old Trafford at the end of the campaign.

However, according to Dutch football expert Marcel van der Kraan, the 52-year-old has "three major opportunities" this summer.

"There are three major opportunities for Erik ten Hag," Van der Kraan told Sky Sports News. "Manchester United is only one of them. I don't want to dampen the excitement in England but maybe United have not done all the work yet.

"Yes, they've had positive talks with Ten Hag but so have two other major clubs in Europe. These are clubs who play Champions League football and who have chances to win titles in their own country.

"One of those clubs is very concrete for Ten Hag, and I think that is on mainland Europe - not in England. I know for a fact that Ten Hag is very excited about that job too."

Man United are expected to meet with a number of other candidates to discuss the managerial position, with interim head coach Ralf Rangnick set to step aside from the role at the end of the season.
