Erik ten Hag will join Man Utd on a three-year deal - with option of a further year - in the summer; Dutchman replaces Ralf Rangnick, with interim boss set ...

"Two domestic doubles and one kick away from a Champions League final later and there is an acceptance Ten Hag has brought some of the best football that Ajax have seen in years. "Man Utd are still a massive, massive club - one of the biggest clubs in the world. He does not just want to be a head coach - he wants to have control over the transfer strategy and recruitment as well. There is clarity now - all the players who are thinking of leaving, or who Man Utd want to sign, know Ten Hag is going to be the new manager. They want something that's completely different that they've not had before, and that's probably gone against Pochettino in some ways." He told United's website: "It is a great honour to be appointed manager of Manchester United and I am hugely excited by the challenge ahead. But let's not forget, less than 12 months ago, Man Utd finished second in the Premier League, they finished above Liverpool and over the past decade, six of the last 10 seasons they have finished above Liverpool. He's got more experience than I think most people think at the age of 52. I did a poll the other week and I was absolutely stunned - 220,000 people voted and 82 per cent were in favour of bringing him in over [Mauricio] Pochettino. He's won a couple of titles and cups in Holland. His style of play is good. "It's a massive jump but he's got a good coaching pedigree. Ten Hag will be United's fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

Erik ten Hag: Manchester United appoint Ajax boss as club's new ... (Sky News)

The Dutchman will replace Ralf Rangnick, who was installed on a temporary basis after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked in November.

United have become a shadow of their former selves and it hurts. Faces, attitudes and dressing room culture have to change. That's what Steve McLaren spotted in him when Ten Hag served as his assistant at FC Twente in the Dutch league and McLaren knows what it takes to win at Old Trafford - he was assistant manager to Sir Alex Ferguson during the iconic treble winning season of 1999. The compensation to Ajax for Ten Hag leaving is understood to be £1.7m and Manchester United's good relationship with former player Edwin van der Sar, who is now Ajax's chief executive, is understood to have played a part in the negotiations. Ajax chief executive, Edwin van der Sar, has thanked Ten Hag and said: "He is going to make the step to one of the biggest clubs in the world, in a fantastic league", but added that he would have liked to have kept him for longer. Ten Hag said it was a "great honour" to be appointed manager and he was "hugely excited by the challenge ahead".

Erik ten Hag's arrival at Manchester United will spark a summer of change at Old Trafford, with the club likely to draft in several key recruits - to.

The Red Devils are likely to be in the market for another forward and Nunez could be the man after he dumped Ten Hag’s Ajax out of the Champions League earlier this season.

Man United will look to send a message of hope to their fans and newly-announced boss when they travel to the capital to take on Arsenal on Saturday – with LIVE and EXCLUSIVE commentary on talkSPORT. Timber has amassed an impressive 70 appearances so far for Ajax, and could partner Raphael Varane at the back should he make the move to the red half of Manchester. Paul Pogba is also expected to depart with his contract set to expire, so the Red Devils will be on the lookout for midfield reinforcements. The central midfielder, who has two years left on his current Elland Road contract, could be an option to replace Nemanja Matic, who confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the season. United are currently well stocked in attack, but the young forward could replace Edinson Cavani who is expected to leave in the summer. The Brazil international has emerged as one of the brightest young stars in Europe following his move to Ajax from Sao Paulo in June 2020. Plenty of new player arrivals are anticipated in the near future, and talkSPORT.com has taken a look at seven potential recruits who could follow Ten Hag to Old Trafford. One of the top names on Ten Hag’s list is likely to be Ajax forward Antony. The Ajax manager’s appointment was finally confirmed on Thursday, with the Dutchman set to take over from Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season – when he will be immediately tasked with giving the Red Devils a new lease of life. Erik ten Hag’s arrival at Manchester United will spark a summer of change at Old Trafford, with the club likely to draft in several key recruits – to the delight of frustrated fans.
