Erik ten Hag sent congratulatory message by Feyenoord boss as he nears Manchester United job

Feyenoord head coach Arne Slot has congratulated Ajax chief Erik ten Hag on his impending move to Manchester United.

Ten Hag, who was sounded out as United's preferred candidate last month, is on the brink of taking charge at Old Trafford ahead of the start of next season. A deal is very close to being agreed, with suggestions that all that is left to be done is for the Dutchman to put pen to paper on his contract.

The 52-year-old has been linked with the United vacancy ever since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked back in November and has proven to be a popular choice amongst the supporters in recent months. Despite never managing a club the same size as United, it is an exciting appointment, with Ten Hag considered as an up and coming coach with more to give, despite being north of 50.
