Rene Meulensteen could be Erik ten Hag's assistant at Manchester United, according to a report.

Rene Meulensteen could reportedly be Erik ten Hag's assistant at Manchester United, with the latter set to be appointed as the English club's new head coach.

The Red Devils have allegedly decided on Ajax's Ten Hag as their new manager, with the Dutchman preparing to move to Old Trafford at the end of the 2021-22 campaign.

According to ESPN, Meulensteen, who was a first-team coach at Man United under Sir Alex Ferguson between 2007 and 2013, is being considered as Ten Hag's assistant.

The 58-year-old has had spells in charge of Anzhi Makhachkala, Fulham, Maccabi Haifa and Kerala Blasters since leaving Old Trafford, in addition to a period as assistant manager of Australia.

Steve McClaren, Ferguson's former assistant at Man United, is also thought to be under consideration for a return to the club under Ten Hag.

Ralf Rangnick will continue to lead the 20-time English champions on an interim basis for the remainder of the season before taking on a two-year consultancy role this summer.
