Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Ajax boss Erik ten Hag is on the brink of being confirmed as Manchester United’s new manager.<\/b><\/p>\n

United say no deal has been done but sources in the Netherlands suggest an agreement in principle is in place.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman, 52, will replace Ralf Rangnick, who was appointed interim manager in November following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s dismissal.<\/p>\n

Paris St-Germain’s former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino had been the other leading candidate.<\/p>\n

Official confirmation of Ten Hag’s appointment is not expected before Ajax’s Dutch Cup final against PSV Eindhoven on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Ajax lead the Eredivisie by four points from PSV as they aim to win their third Dutch league title under Ten Hag.<\/p>\n

They lost to Portuguese side Benfica in the last 16 of the Champions League.<\/p>\n

\nTen Hag appointment will bring sense of certainty
\nUnited will be relieved when Ten Hag’s appointment is made official, on what is expected to be a three-year contract with the option of an additional year. It will bring a sense of certainty to a club whose season is slipping away alarmingly as Rangnick wrestles with a mounting number of problems.<\/p>\n

Amid numerous suggestions of splits in the dressing room, United now seem unlikely to secure a place in next season’s Champions League after a run of one win in seven games in all competitions, their worst sequence of results since 2019.<\/p>\n

With many big-name players either out of contract, such as Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard, or facing uncertain futures, like Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford, it promises to be a summer of upheaval at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

It has been felt Ten Hag’s management style is more suited to the structures put in place at United, which include John Murtough as football director.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag will become the fifth permanent manager at Old Trafford since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013.<\/p>\n
