Manchester United is now days away from signing Ajax manager Erik Ten Hag. It’s a wonderful piece of news from the renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Although he is left to listen to the magical here we go’, the transfer has been agreed upon on all terms. Both the clubs are discussing a £2m clause. It has also been revealed that Mitchell van der Gaag could be the manager’s preferred assistant at Old Trafford.
He has also revealed that the transfer will not be declared today or tomorrow. It all depends on the terms being agreed upon on time for the deal to complete.
Erik Ten Hag had joined Ajax in 2017 and has since helped them win two domestic Cup doubles. He is well known for his youthful style of football, developing young players and signing quality players.

Ralf Rangnick had little role in the decision and will be pushed to the consultant role. Darren Fletcher and John Murtough had a key role in conversations with Erik Ten Hag.

The Dutch manager will be having his hand in signing new players and making transfer decisions. He didn’t want any more flop signings and has therefore asked the board to hand him the power to make transfer decisions for the club.
It is a wonderful deal for Manchester United who is currently having a poor season. They are languishing in the fifth spot and have only the fourth place to fight for.
