United have reached an agreement in principle with Erik ten Hag, who has been appointed as the club’s new permanent manager.
As reported by The Athletic, Manchester United and the Dutchman have reached a verbal agreement for the latter to join on a four-year contract.
United are still in the process of negotiating with Ajax, but they are anticipated to complete the transaction.
The two clubs have a positive working relationship, which will make things lot easier in the future.
Ten Hag’s coaching staff will be finalized in the near future as well.United have been undertaking extensive study on their new manager since the beginning of March, and it appears that they have finally reached a decision on who will be in charge.
In the current Eredivisie season, Ten Hag’s Ajax side is in first place and is poised to play in the KNVB Cup final on Sunday.
Because United do not want to interrupt Ajax’s present season, it is possible that an official announcement may have to wait.
With this appointment, Manchester United supporters will be ecstatic.
Fifty-two-years-old Erik ten Hag is one of the most promising young coaches in the world, and he is ready to take the next step in his professional development.
It is one of the most refreshing elements of this agreement that the 52-year-old wants control over the club’s transfer activity and is keen to rebuild Manchester United in his own image.
The beginning of a new era at Old Trafford appears to be in sight!
