Erik ten Hag

Ajax coach Erik Ten Hag has verbally agreed to become Manchester United's new manager from next season, British media reported Tuesday.

Ten Hag will replace Ralf Rangnick who is in interim charge of United until the end of this season. Official confirmation of Ten Hag's appointment is not expected until after Ajax's Dutch Cup final against PSV Eindhoven this Sunday, according to British media reports. The 52-year-old is reportedly set to sign a four-year deal although a contract is yet to be signed.

Erik ten Hag is expected to be appointed as Manchester United's next permanent boss, and his former and current players have detailed what life is like ...

Maybe he will get to spend a lot of money, but I hope he will get the commitment of the club like that so he can decide which players to go for.” But he is also very good in the way he talks to the players. He will find a weakness and then he is able to tell the players what we must do to hurt them. And, an interview with BT Sport back in May 2019, Blind spoke of how he encourages his side to play. Having been signed by Ten Hag from Southampton in the summer of 2018, it is no surprise that Tadic remains a huge fan of his work — scoring 90 goals for the club in his four seasons in Amsterdam: “He is amazing. “He’s responsible a lot for me coming to Ajax because of course I know him,” Haller told CNN in 2022. You need a manager like that if you want to be one of the best clubs. The former Watford midfielder recently made a controversial move from rivals Feyenoord to join Ajax and the 30-year-old feels he has upped his game working under Ten Hag since his summer switch. And a pattern that appears to follow Ten Hag’s work, whichever club he works at, is the glowing reviews his players have left after playing under his management. He identifies their strengths and how to stop them, whatever the opposition do, he has a response. Everyone receives an explanation about what is being asked and what this manager would like to see in each position.” It remains to be seen how he will approach a United dressing room amid reports of a backlash from inside Old Trafford.

Man Utd are set to appoint Erik ten Hag as their next permanent manager this summer and the decision has an element of risk to it.

The process to recruit a new permanent manager has been led by Murtough and it already feels like this is how he will be judged. This is a gamble that just has to pay off. It has now seemed that Pochettino has been destined to manage United twice but Murtough and Arnold have looked elsewhere. So the moral of the story is that failing at PSG is almost irrelevant to a career trajectory. United will hope the style of his football will take the fight to Manchester City and Liverpool, but there are no guarantees. His spell at Paris St-Germain has been disappointing, but he joined a club that simply didn't have a squad that suited him.

There will be nowhere for the players to hide in a Ten Hag training session.

There are always players who may take it easy sometimes but if you do that, he will see it straight away and be onto you. MEN Sport has revealed that Ajax are expecting their manager to join United at the end of the season. He told The Sun: "I really like him as a coach, he's very demanding though.

Will Manchester United win the Premier League again before 2027?

Erik ten Hag has agreed to become the new Manchester United manager from the beginning of the 2022-23 season, and the Dutchman will be in no doubt about the size of the task on his hands.

In a tweet by The Athletic's David Ornstein, he wrote: "Man Utd reach verbal agreement in principle with Erik ten Hag to become next permanent manager. It's said United's stars are angry the club are willing to make him the highest-paid player in the country. MEN Sport has revealed that Ajax are expecting their manager to join United at the end of the season. United are finalising their process of appointing the Ajax coach Erik ten Hag as manager and have not consulted the players. He's possibly the most popular player at Old Trafford at the moment and the buzz every time he set off on a run on Friday showed the anticipation that is following. The Athletic reported on Tuesday night that United have reached a verbal agreement with Ten Hag to be their next manager on a four-year contract. MEN Sport has revealed that Ajax are expecting Ten Hag to leave the club ahead of the new season. Ajax bosses expect him to leave the Amsterdam club this summer to join United and reports in the last 24 hours suggest that a deal is now very close to being concluded. The decision to allow Donny van de Beek and Anthony Martial leave in January, as well as recent injuries, opened the door to Hannibal making matchday squads, but not to involvement on the pitch. It was in February that Ralf Rangnick confirmed Hannibal was now a permanent member of the first-team group at Carrington — but so are Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata and they hardly get a look-in either. MEN Sport understands that United have settled on Ten Hag rather than Mauricio Pochettino as their ideal candidate to take over the reins from Ralf Rangnick in the summer. Five of those have been in the Premier League — meaning that their top-four hopes now hang by a thread.

Pochettino, the former Tottenham boss, had been widely rumoured to be in line for a return to the Premier League until his star dimmed when star-studded PSG once again failed to land the Champions League having been knocked out by Real Madrid in the last 16.

Now, there are more encouraging reports from a Manchester United perspective. The 52-year-old has one year remaining on his contract in Amsterdam but could be prized away from the Dutch giants. It’s common knowledge now that Ten Hag is the club’s preferred target and they will be desperate to get that over the line as soon as possible.

The Ajax boss had reportedly received a rival offer from RB Leipzig and wanted a number of assurances from the Old Trafford club.

Ten Hag is also said to have requested that he gets a full say over the composition of his backroom staff and the members of his support team will be finalised imminently. Reports earlier this week claimed Ten Hag was considering a number or rival offers, including one form RB Leipzig, but the lure of United and the chance to restore them to their former glories has been too enticing a prospect.

Would Man United fans rather have a coach who is good in press conferences or someone who plays amazing football, wins things and gets the best out of his players? A source close to him says he doesn’t want to “rock the boat” when he first goes in, but assessments will be made. “The beginning is always difficult. “That run is stressing out opponents,” he says. He was a great coach and a great person.” The big screen flickers on to show a superb, slick move against Willem II that culminates in a brilliant finish by Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. At Ajax, his greatest team specialised in sharp, one-touch football utilising “maximum width” – luring defenders into positions before utilising the space left behind. The club are prepared to back him if he feels changes are required. A football obsessive, he has been carrying out extensive due diligence on the Manchester United project. But a few weeks later, everyone knew and the impact on the team was so positive so no-one needed to stop. From that point we all believed in the project.” Those sessions could extend for hours, leaving players feeling “mentally drained” at the level of micromanagement.
