Erik ten Hag is ready to make a sensational signing from former club Manchester United after taking the reins at Bayer Leverkusen, reports claim.

After months out of management following his sacking from United at the end of October, Ten Hag has signed a deal to take over from Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen and will begin a two-year contract on July 1.

The gig in the Bundesliga presents Ten Hag with the perfect opportunity to rebuild himself after a period at United where he won two trophies but ultimately failed to bring the glory days back to Old Trafford.

But already it's emerged that Ten Hag wants to raid his old employers with an unthinkable deal for out-of-favour winger Alejandro Garnacho.

Garnacho spoke out about his omission from Ruben Amorim's Europa League final starting XI and his comments, in addition to criticism from his brother on social media, has led to the Portuguese boss coming down hard on the 20-year-old.

He was left out of the matchday squad for the final day of the season and it then came to light that a day prior, Amorim had effectively ended Garnacho's United career when he told him, "You better pray that you can find a club to sign you" in front of his teammates.

Garnacho has known admirers in both Chelsea and Serie A champions Napoli, who see him as the perfect replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the left flank after he moved to Paris Saint-Germain in the January window.

However, according to Rudy Galletti of TEAMtalk, Ten Hag wants to reunite with Garnacho at Leverkusen.

Garnacho had his breakthrough in the United first-team with the Dutchman and scored in both the FA Cup and Community Shield finals he played under him.

Set to have funds to spend should they offload talisman Florian Wirtz to Liverpool for a reported £126 million, it's said that Leverkusen have been in touch with Garnacho's representatives "to explore the margins of negotiation".

But they also face competition from AC Milan, who have also opened fresh discussions with his entourage over a move - while Atletico are also said to be interested in their former youth player.

As per the report, United are looking for around £50 million for the Argentina international.

Garnacho did feature for United in a post-season friendly defeat to the ASEAN All-Stars in Kuala Lumpur but it appears as though he has no first-team future.

  • Erik ten Hag 'makes first transfer decision' as Bayer Leverkusen boss and Man Utd star could be the perfect fit
  • Five strikers Man Utd could sign after missing out on Liam Delap including wildcard who is Mikel Arteta's biggest transfer mistake
  • Man Utd fans shocked by what Amad did while walking through group of supporters on club's post-season tour
  • Ruben Amorim asked if there were any positives from post-season defeat to the ASEAN All-Stars and his response is damning
