Erik Ten Hag defied his father's wish to join the family business in order to pursue a career in football.
The Ajax boss is a leading contender to be named Ralf Rangnick's successor with the Red Devils offering him the job following a series of meetings. Ten Hag is reluctant to sign on the dotted line given the magnitude of the task that lies ahead of him as United prepare for a major overhaul in the summer.
The Dutchman is concerned that he won't have full control over new players arriving at Old Trafford, as well as who will be going in the other direction. United are said to be willing to grant his wish but Ten Hag continues to stall as he weighs up his options.
