Erik ten Hag will reportedly considering appointing Steve McClaren to his backroom staff if he becomes the next manager of Manchester United.

Former assistant Steve McClaren may reportedly make a surprise return to Manchester United ahead of next season.

Having spent a period as Sir Alex Ferguson's number two, McClaren went on to take several high-profile managerial positions, including with England.

The 60-year-old has not been in the number-one position in the dugout since a stint with Queens Park Rangers during 2018-19, but it appears that he may soon accept another role.

According to The Guardian, McClaren may be appointed on Erik ten Hag's backroom team if the Dutchman becomes the new Man United manager.

The pair worked together at FC Twente, with Ten Hag being assistant to McClaren as the club won the Eredivisie title.

While Ten Hag may also look to bring in more familiar faces from Ajax, it is suggested that he also wants someone who has knowledge of the Premier League giants.
