Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is not keen on taking over Borussia Dortmund mid-season - and this is the correct decision. The Dutchman has been in attendance at the Signal Iduna Park on several occasions since his sacking by Man Utd in late October 2024.

It’s reported Ten Hag has a ‘very good’ relationship with Dortmund advisor Matthias Sammer, which could prove pivotal in the final decision on Sahin’s replacement. Another interesting subplot to the move would be the impact on the future of Marcus Rashford, who has been linked with a switch to the German side this month.
