Ten Hag spotted at Serie A clash as fans say ‘he could actually do bits there’

ERIK TEN HAG has been spotted in attendance at a huge Serie A clash months after his Manchester United sacking.

Ten Hag, 55, was pictured walking into the ground and in the stands of the blockbuster clash between Roma and Juventus on Sunday evening.

The Dutchman was sacked by Man Utd at the end of October.

He has since been seen in attendance at former club Ajax.

But he has now been pictured at the Stadio Olimpico.

In a video captured before the clash as Ten Hag arrived at the stadium, his security detail were cautious of cameras recording him.

Roma are without a manager at the end of the season, with interim Claudio Ranieri set to step down from his role as the club's boss at the end of the campaign.

According to Italian reporter Francesco Lucca, Ten Hag's entourage deny he has had any talks with Roma over the managerial position.

Instead, it is reported Ten Hag was invited by the club owners, the Friedkin family - who also own Everton - to watch the game.

But that didn't stop fans getting excited at the thought of Ten Hag returning to management.

One wrote: "He could actually do bits at Roma."

And after Man Utd's bore draw with Man City, another fan even posted: "Manchester United miss him"

Ten Hag is understood to have checked into a hotel in the morning which is typically reserved for new signings.

Other names linked to the Roma job include Massimiliano Allegri, Stefano Pioli and Gian Piero Gasperini.

Juventus themselves have only recently appointed a new manager.

Thiago Motta was sacked by the Turin outfit in March before Igor Tudor was appointed as his replacement.

After his sacking from the Red Devils, Ten Hag said in an open letter to fans: "Dear fans, let me start by thanking you. Thank you for always being there for the club.

"Whether it was at a game far away or a tough match at Old Trafford, your support has been unshakeable.

"The atmosphere at Old Trafford has always been electrifying, thanks to you. I felt it many times.

"Also in away games, it gave the team and me an incredible feeling to hear the United chants taking over the opponents' stadiums, whether the game was in England.

"Europe or during the summer tours. I always enjoyed meeting Manchester United fans throughout the world.

"Walking the streets and being able to chat with fans in England, Europe, Asia, Australia, the USA - you inspired me and radiated a strong sense of unity.

"That's what makes United supporters so special. I want to thank you for giving me this feeling and for your support.

"I also want to thank the staff in every department of the club for their unwavering support in good times and bad. We won two trophies - achievements that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

"Of course, my dream was to bring more trophies to the cabinet. Unfortunately, that dream has come to an end.

"I wish all Manchester United fans nothing but success, trophies and glory. Your support and the warmth I received from everyone at the club helped me feel at home.

"Thank you for this chapter in my life. Erik."

He gave a major update on his future in February, saying he would consider a new job in July.
