When the i's are dotted, the t's are crossed and the scarf held aloft, Erik ten Hag will begin his mammoth task as Manchester United 's new permanent manager.
Old Trafford chiefs are busy finalising the 52-year-old's appointment, with Ten Hag being selected as the Red Devils' chosen candidate after rounds of in-depth talks over the past fortnight. With official confirmation seemingly a matter of when not if, the Ajax boss can now begin to draw up his plans to bring United back to the top of world football.
But being the meticulous manager he is, Ten Hag has already been scheming and even told those interviewing him for the vacant post about his five-year plan, as reported by the Independent. No-doubt a vision that looks like a dream paper, the Dutchman can't afford to waste any time in reality at the world's self-proclaimed biggest club.
