Manchester United Jaap Stam has outlined an issue with Erik ten Hag’s appointment at Old Trafford.
United confirmed the appointment on Thursday of Ajax boss Ten Hag as their new permanent manager from the end of the current campaign. Ten Hag, 52, met with United bosses last month to talk about becoming their new manager on a permanent basis and has now penned a contract until June 2025 with an option of a further year. Mitchell Van der Gaag, Ten Hag’s long-term Ajax assistant, is poised to join him in the United alongside Steve McClaren.
Those moves in the dugout are the commencement of sweeping changes at Old Trafford over the next few months, with a mass overhaul of the club’s playing squad expected. Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic, Edinson Cavani and Juan Mata are all out-of-contract while many others are likely to be moved on.
