Former Manchester United Manger Erik Ten Hag has offered himself to Real Madrid to replace Carlo Ancelotti if he leaves this summmer
As Carlo Ancelotti’s tenure at Real Madrid teeters on the brink of uncertainty, speculation surrounding his potential successor has reached a fever pitch. Amidst the swirling rumors, one name that has garnered significant attention is that of Erik ten Hag, a highly respected Dutch coach who has established himself as a top-tier tactician in European football.
Interestingly, Ten Hag’s admiration for Arsenal’s Jurrien Timber has been well-documented. The Dutch coach praised Timber’s tenacious display against Real Madrid, describing him as a “soldier” who embodies the qualities of a true competitor. Ten Hag’s assessment is telling, given his experience in developing top talent during his time at Ajax and Manchester United.
Timber’s impressive performance against Real Madrid, where he expertly nullified Vinicius Junior’s attacking threat, is a testament to his growing prowess as a right-back. Having overcome a difficult debut season marred by injury, Timber has blossomed under Mikel Arteta’s guidance, making 43 appearances and cementing his place as a key player in Arsenal’s lineup.
As Arsenal prepares to face Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final, Timber’s form will undoubtedly be crucial in determining the outcome. With Ten Hag’s endorsement and his own impressive displays, Timber appears poised to play a pivotal role in Arsenal’s quest for Champions League glory.
