Stuttgart head coach Sebastian Hoeness turned down an approach from Manchester United in the summer, according to reports in Germany. United’s hierarchy conducted a review of Erik ten Hag ’s position at Old Trafford in the summer and had considered replacing the Dutchman before offering him a new contract.
