The MEN Sport understands that Erik ten Hag is currently Manchester United preferred option to be their next permanent manager. And with this information fans have gone into overdrive speculating about who he will play in the current squad and also who he will want to sign.
Ten Hag's philosophy includes controlling a lot of the possession of the game and overwhelming the opponent by passing around them and not allowing them to regain the ball. This means that every player in his squad has to have a certain level of technical ability and be comfortable on the ball.
The shining example of this in Ten Hag's current Ajax team is Daley Blind. The Dutchman returned to his former club from United back in 2018 after he was deemed surplus to requirements by Jose Mourinho and since then he has thrived.
