Manchester United have reportedly made Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as their 'preferred option' to become the club's next permanent manager. Since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer departed Old Trafford earlier in the season, the Manchester club have been on the lookout for his permanent successor.
According to our sister title, the Manchester Evening News, Ten Hag is United's 'prime choice' to take the job in the summer. However, the club has not made a final decision just yet, with Mauricio Pochettino of Paris Saint-Germain also linked.
Ten Hag, 52, has been in charge of Ajax since 2017 and was the man at the helm of their infamous 2018/19 Champions League semi-final campaign. The Dutchman is now wanted by United, though, and could be on his way out of Amsterdam in the summer.
