Ten Hag insists Man Utd have plenty to play for after European exit<\/h3>\n

Erik ten Hag could already have another job on the horizon if he faces the Manchester United sack in the coming weeks, according to surprising reports. The Dutchman is under intense scrutiny after Tuesday’s Champions League group-stage exit became the latest blow in a disastrous second season in charge.<\/p>\n

United fell to a toothless 1-0 defeat to Group A winners Bayern Munich at Old Trafford, condemning them to rock bottom behind FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag’s side accumulated just four points from their six Champions League games, only winning once thanks to Andre Onana’s last-gasp penalty save against Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

But the 27-year-old goalkeeper was highly culpable for United’s early exit, with a flurry of mistakes contributing to eight points lost from winning positions.<\/p>\n

United are also out of the Carabao Cup – ending their defence with a 3-0 home defeat to Newcastle United – and are sixth in the Premier League, nine points off leaders Liverpool.<\/p>\n

The club’s state of flux has shielded Ten Hag as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS await for their \u00a31.3billion deal for a 25 per cent stake to be ratified.<\/p>\n

But once the 71-year-old businessman inherits sporting control from the Glazers, 12 losses in 24 games this term may leave the United boss in a vulnerable position.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag would be the fifth manager given the sack since Sir Alex Ferguson’s 2013 retirement if Sir Jim opts for his own appointment.<\/p>\n

But while his predecessors have taken breaks from football after their tenures at Old Trafford, the Dutchman could dive straight into a new challenge.<\/p>\n

According to Germany-based reporter Jan Aage Fjortoft, murmurs in the country suggest Ten Hag could become Borussia Dortmund’s new head coach.<\/p>\n

Dortmund advisor Matthias Sammer previously employed Ten Hag at Bayern Munich in 2013, where he guided Bayern Munich II to the Regionalliga Bayern before leaving for Utrecht two years later.<\/p>\n
