Erik ten Hag has already lined up his first two signings if he becomes Manchester United boss.
The Ajax manager is the leading contender to be named Ralf Rangnick's successor after the club interviewed him over the vacancy. United have now spoken to Ten Hag, Mauricio Pochettino and Spain boss Luis Enrique, but the Dutchman is the favourite to land the job with the Red Devils able to trigger his release from Ajax - as reported by Mirror Football's Simon Mullock.
United initially believed they would have to pay Ajax just under £5m as compensation for the final 12 months of Ten Hag’s contract once they made an official approach. But Mirror Football can reveal that the 52-year-old inserted a get-out clause in the deal he signed a year ago - and that it can be triggered for just €2m (£1.68m).
