Manchester United have launched a scouting mission to find new manager Erik ten Hag 's first signing, according to reports.
The Ajax boss has reached an agreement in principle to become the Red Devils' permanent successor to interim manager Ralf Rangnick, with Ten Hag expected to put pen to paper on a contract lasting up to four years. And while the details of the Dutchman's appointment are being finalised, United are also preparing for a seismic summer transfer window to kickstart Ten Hag's reign.
Although the Red Devils have been linked to a host of high-profile players, United are said to already be in talks with a lesser-known target: Enzo Fernandez. The versatile midfielder has caught the Old Trafford recruitment team's eye following his impressive performances for River Plate, contributing to six goals across 10 games in 2022. Now, multiple reports from Argentina claim that a scout will be in Buenos Aires on Wednesday evening to take a closer look at Fernandez.
