Ex-Manchester United defender Jaap Stam has said he is "open to any job" at Old Trafford following reports linking him to a comeback.

There have been numerous reports recently linking Stam with a return to Manchester United, especially with fellow Dutchman Erik ten Hag the overwhelming favorite to succeed Ralf Rangnick as the club's next permanent manager this summer. Manchester United want Ajax manager Ten Hag as their next manager this summer, and Ajax expect him to leave for Old Trafford.

As expected, recent weeks have seen a lot of talk about who might join Ten Hag at Manchester United and form his coaching staff. There has been talk of Robin van Persie and Steve McClaren returning to Liverpool, following their time working together at FC Twente in the past.

It's also been suggested that former United defender Stam, who will play for United in next month's Legends of the North charity friendly against Liverpool at Old Trafford, could return to the club. And the possibility of returning to United is something that the former Reading manager is willing to investigate, saying that he is "open" to the idea of returning to the club.

As Stam stated in a recent interview with Voetbal Primeur, "I am open to any role at Manchester United." "It has been a pleasure working and living there, and I owe a debt of gratitude to the club."

'If there is any way I can assist Manchester United in any manner, I am willing to do so, as long as it is in a role that is suitable for me,' says the player.

In September, the Dutchman, who played for Manchester United between 1998 and 2001, was terminated from his position as head coach of MLS side FC Cincinnati. Feyenoord, PEC Zwolle and Reading are among the clubs where he's gained managerial experience in addition to Feyenoord.

Stam's admission that he is open to returning to United does not differ significantly from his statements made last month, in which he stated that he would welcome the opportunity to play at Old Trafford again. While with the club for three years, he established himself as a popular character, and he still has a soft spot in his heart for the club.

According to Stam, who spoke to bettingexpert last month, "If they asked me (to take on a coaching/management role), I would do it immediately and without hesitation." "As you are aware, United is a big part of my life as well.

"I've had amazing seasons over there, and I've won trophies, and it's been quite beneficial to me." In any case, if I could be of assistance to them, I would be tempted to do so.
