Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has emerged as a surprise target for Bayern Munich as they look to replace Thomas Tuchel.
The German giants have decided to part ways with Tuchel at the end of the campaign and their decision may not change even if they win the Champions League.
Ralf Rangnick was recently the front-runner for the job, but he eventually declined the role to commit to his ongoing project with the Austrian national side.
It is now reported that Bayern continue to appreciate Ten Hag, who managed the reserve team at the Bundesliga outfit between 2013 and 2015.
Ten Hag's second season at United has gone pear-shaped amid injuries and there is a possibility that he could be shown the exit door this summer.
This could benefit Bayern, who are said to be preparing an approach. They have the confidence in the Dutchman despite his struggles at Old Trafford.
If the 54-year-old were to be sacked by United, Bayern would not need to pay a compensation fee. The Germans would ideally prefer the same.
