Jelle ten Rouwelaar is of great interest to Manchester United. This was reported Football International Thursday evening. The goalkeeping coach has only been with Ajax for two months, but now gets the chance to join the club of manager Erik ten Hag.

Ten Hag previously managed to add Ruud van Nistelrooy and René Hake to his coaching staff at Man United. The intention now is for Ten Rouwelaar to also work for the FA Cup winner.

According to Football International the 43-year-old Ten Rouwelaar sees a transfer to Man United as an option. It is now up to both clubs to reach an agreement on the goalkeeping coach who was appointed by Ajax two months ago.

Ajax acquired Ten Rouwelaar from Burnley and gave the former goalkeeper a one-year contract. The Frisian-born player previously worked as a goalkeeper coach at Anderlecht, NAC Breda and Oranje Under 20.

Ten Rouwelaar had a multi-year contract with Burnley, but decided to move to Ajax in the meantime. He was appointed in Amsterdam as a replacement for Anton Scheutjens, who has been ill at home for some time.

In the absence of Seuntjens, Erik Heijblok, the goalkeeping coach of Jong Ajax, took over the honours for the main squad of the Amsterdam club.

Ten Rouwelaar previously played for PSV, FC Groningen and NAC, among others, and played more than 300 matches in professional football. In 2016, he took his first steps in the world of goalkeeper training.
