Julen Lopetegui 'is very well placed to succeed Erik ten Hag' at Manchester United should the club sack the Dutchman - after rejecting £15.5m offer from Saudi - with the ex-Wolves boss 'highly rated by club officials'

Manchester United are reportedly eyeing Julen Lopetegui to succeed Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford if the Dutchman is sacked.

Despite recently being named Premier League Manager of the Month after leading United to three consecutive victories without conceding in November, Ten Hag's position at the club appears increasingly tenuous.

Bournemouth secured their first ever win at Old Trafford last weekend, before the club were dumped out of Europe after finishing bottom of Group A in their return to the Champions League with just one win six.
