Former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has suggested Erik ten Hag should rule out a move to the Red Devils because they are “a commercial club”.
United have spoken to Ajax coach Ten Hag about their vacant manager’s job.
Interim boss Ralf Rangnick, who replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, will be in charge until the summer.
“I’m not going to advise [Erik], he’ll call me himself. But he must choose a football club and not a commercial club,” said Netherlands boss Van Gaal.
“Erik ten Hag is a great coach and that is always good for Manchester United,” added Van Gaal, who was speaking before the Netherlands’ friendly against Germany.
“But Manchester United are a commercial club, so it’s a difficult choice for a coach. He’d better go to a football club.”
