Ten Hag could receive Europa League winners' medal

The Dutchman is eligible for a Europa League medal if his former club Man Utd win the tournament.

Ten Hag left MU in October last year.

Ten Hag was in charge of United in the early stages of this season's Europa League campaign, guiding the Red Devils to three draws in the group stage before being replaced by Ruben Amorim in October 2024.

In the event of winning the Europa League, the MU board could reward Ten Hag's contributions by awarding him one of the UEFA reserve medals. According to the tournament's regulations, the winning team will receive the full 50 medals, which can be awarded to any individual, including those who are no longer working at the club.

For this to happen, the Old Trafford team must overcome the second leg of the semi-final against Athletic Bilbao in the early morning of May 9. MU has a big advantage when leading 3-0 after the first leg.

Goal believes that MU's potential opponent in the Europa League final could be Tottenham, the team that won 3-1 against Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of the semi-final.

Elsewhere, Ten Hag could soon return to coaching. The Dutchman has emerged as a strong candidate to replace Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen. Alonso is expected to move to Real Madrid this summer to replace Carlo Ancelotti.

If this happens, Ten Hag will have the opportunity to face MU in the European arena in the future.
