Manchester United will announce Eric Ten Haag as the new permanent manager after the terms of his € 2 million release clause from Ajax are finalized in the coming days.
Negotiations on the length of the Dutchman’s deal are continuing as United are approaching the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjör’s successor, with Ten Hag expected to commit to either the first three years plus the 12-month option or a four-year contract until 2026 Understandably, a key request has been made to Ten Hag: to allow the final decision on transfers with the club’s executive director because of his determination that market failures that overshadowed the nine years of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era should not is repeating.
Although official confirmation is due only after United’s game in Liverpool on Tuesday night, the current Ajax coach is expected to negotiate the transformation of his number 2 in the Dutch club, Mitchell van der Haag, for his assistant, while discussions on Steve McLaren also continues as part of its behind-the-scenes staff.
United want to show respect to Ajax – who were beaten 2-1 by PSV Eindhoven in the KNVB Cup final on Sunday – and will be in direct contact this week over the Ten Hague release clause.
Once the details of the payment have been agreed, his confirmation as United’s fifth manager is expected to be confirmed less than a decade after Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.
