Erik ten Hag is keen to bring his assistant Mitchell van der Gaag from Ajax to Manchester United, after reaching an agreement in principle to take over at Old Trafford.
The 50-year-old has been Ten Hag's number two since the start of this season, having previously managed Ajax's reserve side in the Dutch second tier. As a player, he represented the Netherlands under-21 side and also spent time in the Scottish top-flight with Motherwell.
Ten Hag is due to take over ahead of the 2022-23 season, with Ralf Rangnick finishing his interim tenure and moving into a consulting role. And, while he is reportedly keen on bringing Van der Gaag along, the former Utrecht boss has also held talks with former United assistant Steve McClaren.
