Manchester United’s end to the 2024/25 campaign has been nothing short of chaotic.
The team’s hopes of securing a Champions League place through league position vanished months before the final round.
Now, all eyes are on the Europa League final, with United desperate to salvage silverware from a dismal season.

Behind the scenes, talk of a squad overhaul continues, while uncertainty around certain players’ futures looms large.
But now, it’s United’s former manager making headlines.
Erik ten Hag is being seriously considered by his former club Ajax, who are once again on the hunt for a new head coach, as per Florian Plettenberg via X.
The Dutch side’s shortlist has shifted following Francesco Farioli’s confirmed departure, and ten Hag’s name has rapidly shot to the top of the list.
According to reports from the Netherlands, Paul Simonis is also in contention, but Ajax’s admiration for ten Hag — the man who led them to a Champions League semi-final in 2019 — is no secret.
Ajax are said to view a reunion with the 54-year-old as a stabilising move, especially given the club’s recent managerial turbulence and disappointing Eredivisie campaign.

But it’s not just Ajax monitoring ten Hag’s situation.
Last season’s Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly keeping tabs on the Dutchman’s availability as they prepare for potential coaching changes of their own.
Whether ten Hag would go back to his former side remains to be seen, but the speculation reflects a growing admiration for the Dutchman.
For now, ten Hag remains without a job.
But with Ajax and Leverkusen lurking, the noise around his future is only getting louder.
Thanks for the correction. Here’s a revised conclusion sentence:
Wherever Ten Hag lands next, his appointment could reshape the direction of a top European side in the coming months.
