Manchester United set to make Erik Ten Hag their next manager
It was reported, after his interview, that Ten Hag impressed Man United chiefs with his vision and philosophy, something which helped Ajax to a Champions League semi-final in 2019.
The Dutch giants are anticipating a formal offer from United to pay the £1.7 compensation requited to release Ten Hag from his contract.

Luis Enrique and Sevilla’s Julen Lopetegui were also reportedly considered, whilst Chelsea’s Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich’s Julian Nagelsmann were also ruled out.
