Manchester United may find it easier than expected to get rid of under pressure manager Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman is said to be a target for German giants and Champions League semi finalists Bayern Munich.

Per Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, talks have taken place over a possible move for Ten Hag to go to Bavaria.

He has worked at Bayern in the past with their B team, which makes him a familiar name.

Whether he wants to give up his post at United, as he has not been sacked, is not yet clear.

A previous ESPN report had suggested that if Ten Hag had a choice, he would remain at United.
