Soccer-Van Gaal warns Ten Hag against joining 'commercial club' Manchester United

(Reuters) - Netherlands head coach Louis van Gaal on Monday warned Ajax Amsterdam's Erik ten Hag against taking up the manager's role at Manchester United, urging him to choose a football club over a "commercial" one.

Van Gaal managed United between 2014 and 2016, leading them to FA Cup success in his final season before being sacked and replaced by Jose Mourinho.

Ten Hag, 52, is among a handful of names linked to the top job at United, with interim manager Ralf Rangnick's tenure set to end after the current season.
