Manchester United are edging closer and closer towards installing Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as their new permanent manager.
The Dutchman, 52, was revealed by the Manchester Evening News as the club's preferred candidate last month and is now on course to be appointed as Ralf Rangnick's successor ahead of next season. Reports suggest that Ten Hag is now on the brink of accepting the role at Old Trafford, with only the signing of his contract to be done.
Should United get it over the line, it will end months of speculation that has dominated proceedings at Old Trafford since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked back in November. Along with Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino, Ten Hag has been a leading frontrunner for the role since the Norwegian was axed and is now poised to take the job.
