Erik ten Hag prefers to remain with Manchester United rather than join Bayern Munich.

Bayern are looking for a new manager after announcing in February they will part company with Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season.

Ten Hag has had a disappointing season with United. Ten Hag has a contract at the club until 2025, although he has been given no formal guarantees by new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe that he will still be manager at the start of next season.

West Ham has parted ways with David Moyes and will hire Julen Lopetegui as his replacement.

Moyes said: “I have enjoyed four-and-a-half brilliant years at West Ham, and the club is in a stronger position than when I returned back in 2019.

“When I joined West Ham for a second time, the club was one place above the relegation zone, and it has been a terrific journey to have achieved three consecutive seasons in Europe.

“After leading the club to safety, we guided the team to finishes of sixth and seventh in the Premier League, and I was delighted when we won the Europa Conference League title last June – the club’s first major trophy in 43 years.

“I would like to thank all the players for their support, and all the success they have achieved, over the last four-and-a-half years.”

Jadon Sancho is expected to leave Manchester United permanently this summer even if Erik ten Hag is dismissed as manager.

Sancho was loaned back to Borussia Dortmund back in January. Dortmund would like to keep Sancho, but they would struggle to afford his contract and transfer fee.

A second loan spell covering the 2024-25 season is a possibility, but United's preference is for a permanent transfer.

United signed Sancho in 2021 from Dortmund for $91 million.

Sancho has returned to form since rejoining Dortmund.

Ralf Rangnick has declined an approach by Bayern Munich to remain manager of the Austria national team.

"I am the Austrian team boss with all my heart," Rangnick said in a statement on Thursday.

"I really enjoy this task and am determined to successfully continue on our chosen path.

"I would like to expressly emphasize that this is not a rejection of FC Bayern, but rather a decision for my team and our common goals. Our full concentration is on the European Championships. We will do everything we can to get as far as possible!"

Rangnick was previously interim manager of Manchester United and also took Schalke to the Champions Leauge semifinals in 2011. Rangnick  was also director of football at RB Leipzig and FC Salzburg.

Manchester United have emerged as the frontrunners to sign Michael Olise from Crystal Palace.

Olise has a release clause that becomes active this summer that is believed to be between £50 million and £60 million.

Olise has seven goals and four assists in 16 matches this season with Palace.
