Man Utd set to confirm Erik ten Hag as new manager as Old Trafford chiefs agree on Ajax boss.
Old Trafford chiefs have unanimously agreed that the Ajax boss is the right man to lead the club from next season.
And ESPN claims Ten Hag’s appointment is ‘set to be finalized shortly.
SunSport exclusively revealed last month that the Dutchman was United’s top choice ahead of Paris Saint-Germain’s Mauricio Pochettino.
The Red Devils carried out extensive background checks on the two men.
But despite Poch’s previous success in England with Tottenham, it was Ten Hag who came out on top.
Spain boss Luis Enrique and Sevilla’s Julen Lopetegui were also on United’s shortlist.
But it’s Ten Hag who will be tasked with rescuing United – almost a decade after Sir Alex Ferguson’s exit and the club’s last title win.
The Red Devils have been working on a hefty compensation package for Ajax over the past week.
And SunSport also understands Ten Hag has already identified his first signing at Old Trafford.
And United’s owners, the Glazers, are only too happy to sell as they would like to get rid of Ronaldo’s £480,000-a-week wages, reports claim.
That’s because the 37-year-old is reportedly in talks to join David Beckham’s MLS side Inter Miami.
