Manchester United players are reportedly split regarding the potential appointment of Erik ten Hag as the club's next manager.

The Ajax head coach is believed to be the clear favourite to replace interim boss Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season, ahead of Paris Saint-Germain's Mauricio Pochettino, Sevilla's Julen Lopetegui and Spain's Luis Enrique.

The 52-year-old, who has been in charge of the Dutch giants since 2017, is allegedly interested in moving to Old Trafford after holding positive talks with the club's hierarchy last week.

According to the Manchester Evening News, the prospect of Ten Hag's appointment excites several United players, but other first-team stars consider the Dutchman as an 'underwhelming' choice to succeed Rangnick.

Ten Hag, who has recently labelled Man United as a "great club with great fans", refused to rule out a move away from Amsterdam in the near future when questioned about speculation linking him with a switch to Old Trafford.

The former Go Ahead Eagles, Bayern Munich II and Utrecht boss has taken charge of 208 games for Ajax across all competitions, winning two Eredivisie titles, two Dutch Cups and one Dutch Super Cup.
