Erik ten Hag has apparently agreed to become Manchester United’s new manager on a principle basis.
The Ajax and Dutch coach is thought to have agreed to a four-year contract with the Red Devils, who have yet to identify a permanent replacement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was fired in November.
Since then, Ralf Rangnick has presided over first-team matters, and at the end of the season, he will transition into a two-year consultant post.
After many in-depth conversations, Old Trafford chiefs reached a breakthrough in negotiations with Ten Hag on Tuesday, as the 52-year-old set out his long-term strategy for United, which included having the last say on transfers and changing the club’s style of play.
Following David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ten Hag will become the Red Devils’ fifth permanent manager in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era.
