Erik Ten Hag Set To Be Appointed As Manchester United’s New Coach

Manchester United is close to finalizing an agreement with Erik ten Hag as it’s new manager.

United denied having official discussions and called such an advanced reading of the situation “premature”.

The club have stuck to that line, insisting no deal has been done with anyone. United’s position is also that the process is still underway with multiple candidates, and they will not be providing running commentary on it.

The report claims Ten Hag topped a four-man shortlist which also included Paris Saint-Germain’s Mauricio Pochettino, Spain coach Luis Enrique and Sevilla’s Julen Lopetegui.

Ten Hag, 52, has been at Ajax since 2017, leading them to Eredivisie titles in 2019 and 2021 as well as a run to the Champions League semi-finals in the same year as the former.

The Amsterdam club are currently four points clear at the top of the Dutch championship with six matches remaining.
