Feyenoord coach Robin van Persie could reportedly still return to Manchester United this summer to join Erik ten Hag's staff.

Robin van Persie could reportedly still return to Manchester United as a coach this summer despite suggestions that the Dutchman had rejected an offer from his former club.

Ajax boss Erik ten Hag is believed to be on the verge of signing a contract to become Man United's new manager, with an announcement expected before the end of the campaign.

Ten Hag is thought to be keen to bring Mitchell van der Gaag - his assistant at Ajax - with him to Old Trafford, while the likes of Steve McClaren and Rene Meulensteen have been linked with returns to the club.

Van Persie is also said to be wanted by Ten Hag, but a recent report claimed that the 38-year-old had rejected the chance to move back to Manchester.

The Dutchman, who scored 58 goals in 105 appearances for Man United between 2012 and 2015, is currently working as assistant and striker coach at Feyenoord.

According to the Evening Standard, Ten Hag remains interested in adding Van Persie to his staff for the start of the 2022-23 campaign.

Ajax fitness coach Alessandro Schoenmaker is also said to be wanted by the potential new Man United manager as part of a revamp at the club, who are currently languishing down in seventh spot in the Premier League table.
