Manchester United leaning towards one of two managerial candidates as talks reach advanced stage

Posted by

Ajax manager Erik ten Hag reportedly has the most support as Manchester United continue their search for a new manager.

The Red Devils still don’t seem to have entirely ruled out hiring Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino, but The Athletic suggest that Ten Hag is leading the race as talks reach an “advanced” stage.

It remains to be seen what the final decision will be, but Stretty News also indicate that fresh talks with Ten Hag are expected as he moves into pole position to replace interim manager Ralf Rangnick.

The Dutch tactician has impressed in his time at Ajax and looks like he could implement a whole new philosophy and style of play at United if he gets the job.

Ten Hag may not be proven in the Premier League yet, unlike Pochettino, but then neither was Jurgen Klopp before his transformative effect on Liverpool when he took over.
