Three clubs are reportedly considering the appointment of Erik ten Hag as manager if he is sacked by Manchester United, according to the Daily Star.

Ten Hag is nearing the end of his second season in charge at Old Trafford, having departed Ajax to replace Ralf Rangnick in the summer of 2022.

After a fourth-placed finish and a Carabao Cup win last term, this season has been more inconsistent for United.

Despite reaching the FA Cup semi-final with a 4-3 win over Liverpool last weekend, Ten Hag's side were knocked out of the Champions League at the group stage and face an uphill task to finish in the top four places of the Premier League.

If United do decide to part company with Ten Hag, there are three clubs who could offer him a new job.

The publication claim that Bayern Munich could offer him a dream role as manager of the perennial Bundesliga title winners.

Moving to the Allianz Arena would see Ten Hag manage striker Harry Kane, who he was reportedly interested in signing for United before his summer transfer to Bayern from Tottenham.

But Bayern have struggled this season under Thomas Tuchel, who will leave the club at the end of the season, and look set to drop the Bundesliga title for the first time since 2012 - with Bayer Leverkusen the ones to profit.

Xabi Alonso's side are 10 points clear at the top of the table with eight games to play, and it is their superb performance this season that has led to heavy interest in Leverkusen's current manager.

If Alonso departs the club this summer, it is claimed that Ten Hag is at the top of the shortlist to replace him.

And the third Bundesliga club said to be interested in appointing the Dutchman is Stuttgart, who are also enjoying a fine domestic season to date.

They are in third position in the table - four points behind Bayern - and possess the league's second-top scorer in Serhou Guirassy, who has 22 strikes to his name.
