Premier League winner Joe Cole is concerned Ralf Rangnick and Erik ten Hag could clash over transfers and footballing philosophy if the latter is appointed by Manchester United.
The Red Devils are reportedly close to announcing Ten Hag as their new manager. The club's hierarchy have heled talks with the Ajax boss and are willing to match his release clause, believed to be £1.67million. The finer details of the deal are yet to be revealed.
Interim manager Rangnick will remain at Old Trafford beyond the summer as a consultant and will have a say on transfers and the team's identity. Ten Hag is not a disciple of Rangnick, instead adopting Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola's methods.
