Erik ten Hag could make sensational return to management with Champions League club

The former Man United manager could soon be back in the game.

Ten Hag was sacked only in October by Manchester United, with the club sitting in a lowly 14th place at the time - experiencing their worst-ever start to a Premier League season after nine matches.

Ten Hag has been pictured attending matches and enjoying a break from management in his native Netherlands.

However, he could make a return to the dugout sooner than anticipated, according to Sky Germany's Patrick Berger.

Ten Hag is reportedly a candidate to replace Marco Rose at RB Leipzig, who were hammered 5-1 by VFL Wolfsburg at the weekend.

The club also haven't won a match since October 29 - since beating St Pauli in the DFB Pokal second round.

Roger Schmidt is also a prime target, having worked with sister club Red Bull Salzburg before and also Bayer Leverkusen between 2014 and 2017.
