Erik Ten Hag has made a great impact at Ajax by winning two Eredivisie titles.

According to a report by a reliable Italian journalist, Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United are planning to finalise the appointment of Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as the club’s new manager.

The 20-times PL winner was looking for a new permanent manager to succeed Ralf Rangnick, who is set to move into a consultancy role this summer.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Mauricio Pochettino was also seen as another potential candidate but Ten Hag remains the favourite.

There are some reports that the Dutch club manager had left the interview with a positive feeling, and the United board was convinced by his philosophy, vision and plans for the club.

Romano’s reports also add that the Red Devils are currently discussing the transfer budget, transfer targets, coaching staff and rebuild plans with the 52-year-old.
