Erik ten Hag is set to become Manchester United's new manager after reaching an agreement over a long-term deal.
Mirror Football understands Ten Hag has verbally agreed a four-year deal with United, along with the option of an extra year, as the club draw their search for a new permanent manager to a successful close. A formal announcement is set to wait until Ten Hag's current club, Ajax, have played the KNVB Cup Final on April 17, and it is understood he will officially begin work on July 1, five days before United's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.
Ten Hag beat the likes of Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino and Spain boss Luis Enrique to the job after all three were interviewed, with the 52-year-old Dutchman impressing United's football director John Murtough and technical director Darren Fletcher. While United may have settled on the next coach to lead them after a disappointing season which saw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sacked, Ten Hag will have some big decisions to make right away after another trophyless campaign for the Red Devils.
