Manchester United 's announcement regarding Erik ten Hag as their next manager comes less than 48 hours after Gary Neville accused them of seeking to deploy a "political tactic".
The Red Devils have been seeking a new permanent manager since they sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer earlier this season. Ralf Rangnick has been in interim charge but the focus has been on finding a man for next season and beyond, with Ten Hag regularly linked with the role.
He emerged as the frontrunner ahead of Mauricio Pochettino and United have been discussing his exit with Ajax, whom they have settled on a compensation package with. They have now announced his imminent arrival just days after they were hammered 4-0 by Liverpool.
