Manchester United have agreed a £2.5million compensation package with Ajax for Eric ten Hag and his assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.
United had already sealed a three-year-deal with the two Dutchmen, with the option of a 12-month extension. But while they have been able to trigger a clause in Ten Hag’s contract worth £1.6million, the Amsterdam club were unwilling to allow Van der Gaag to join him at Old Trafford without more money being paid.
It is understood that United have got their duo by offering a package worth £2.5million. It is unlikely that the pair will be joined by former England boss Steve McClaren.
