RB Leipzig have made an attempt to hijack Manchester United's move to appoint Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as their next manager, according to a report.
It has been widely reported in recent days that the 52-year-old has beaten off competition from Mauricio Pochettino to become the next permanent boss at Old Trafford, once interim boss Ralf Rangnick's temporary spell comes to an end in the summer.
However, according to The Telegraph, Bundesliga side Leipzig are said to have made moves to bring the Dutchman to Germany at the end of the season too.
Delays of any confirmation for Ten Hag's move to England are said to have irritated his current employers Ajax, as Leipzig look to potentially capitalise on any collapse in a deal.
Although, the report does continue with the suggestion that some sources in Germany suggest that Leipzig's interest in Ten Hag was before they appointed current boss Domenico Tedesco back in December.
The former Spartak Moscow manager took over at the Red Bull Arena following the departure of Jesse Marsch, and under Tedesco, Leipzig have since climbed up to fourth in the Bundesliga table after a turnaround in form following a poor start to the campaign.
