'Man United are a commercial club. He'd be better off at a football club': Holland boss Louis van Gaal tells countryman Erik ten Haag to REJECT the Old Trafford job, after seeing their issues first-hand

Louis van Gaal has warned Ajax manager Erik ten Hag against taking over as the new manager of Manchester United, telling him that the Red Devils are 'a commercial club'.

Ten Hag has already been interviewed about potentially being appointed as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's long-term successor and is one of the leading candidates alongside Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino.

But Van Gaal, who was United boss from 2014 until 2016, warned his fellow Dutchman against taking the job.
