With the season still to end in two months, Manchester United accelerated the pace of signing new coaches, and their target was recognized as the Red Devils’ most popular new coach Ten Hag. “Sky Sports“, “Mirror” and “Manchester Evening News” and many other British media broke the news about the substantial progress of Manchester United’s contact with Ten Hag. It is reported that Manchester United have interviewed Ten Hag, who has left a positive impression on the Red Devils, and the club hopes to further negotiate to sign a coaching contract before the end of the season.
Manchester United’s current “fire-fighting” manager Rangnick will become the club’s adviser after the end of the season, and the Red Devils hope to finalize the manager before the summer. “Manchester Evening News” said Ten Hag is the first choice of Manchester United’s new coach. The 52-year-old Ten Hag has been coaching the Eredivisie giants Ajax since 2017 and has led the team to great success. He has now won 2 league titles and 2 domestic cup trophies. Among them, in the 2018-2019 season, he led the team to win the league championship after a lapse of five years, and the grassroots myth of eliminating Real Madrid and Juventus to advance to the semi-finals in the Champions League has been staged. These achievements are obvious to all. The famous Italian journalist Romano said that Manchester United has interviewed Ten Hag, and the club is satisfied with the latter’s English level, but the final selection of coaches will involve many factors.
“Sky Sports” said that the conversation between Manchester United and Ajax was very positive, and Ten Hag explained his vision and football philosophy, and the club was impressed. Manchester United have a very good relationship with Ajax, so Ajax allowed Ten Hag to participate in the interview with the Red Devils. It is worth mentioning that the Manchester United legend Van der Sar is currently the CEO of Ajax. He also hinted at the opening of Ten Hag’s departure in an interview: “Manchester United poached Ten Hag? This proves that we have done something right. Thing, it’s the same thing with players being seen by other clubs. When we do well, other teams are interested in our people. We’ve all been through this in the past, so let him go. You have to make sure you are prepared for all situations.”
Ten Hag’s contract with Ajax expires next summer, and his release clause is £5 million, which will not be a hindrance for the deep-pocketed Manchester United. According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United have formally negotiated with Ten Hag about coaching this summer, and Ten Hag is currently the most popular candidate for the new Red Devils coach. In Manchester United’s view, Ten Hag has the ability to cultivate young players. Players such as Frenkie de Jong and De Ligt are all cultivated by Ten Hag. Under these circumstances, United believe that Ten Hag can lead the team to be competitive in the long term. It is reported that Manchester United will try to finalize Ten Hag before the end of the season for the next preparations.
