Former Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt backs Erik ten Hag to do a 'great job' at Man United as he says the Ajax boss deserves an 'opportunity at a top side' after he held talks to take over from Ralf Rangnick this summer

Former Netherlands and Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt feels Manchester United would be getting a 'great' manager in Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman is among the favourites alongside PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino to replace interim head coach Ralf Rangnick in the Old Trafford hot seat this summer.

Sportsmail believes he was interviewed by the Red Devils earlier this month while the club also remain keen on Pochettino, Luis Enrique and Julen Lopetegui.

Ten Hag is known to have spoken to two other European clubs that play regularly in the Champions League, and has a firm offer from one that interests him.
