Following several years as manager of Ajax, Ten Hag is well-versed in the Eredivisie. In particular, Gakpo would have piqued his interest this season, as he has scored eight goals in twenty league appearances so far.
According to the Manchester Evening News, if Ten Hag is appointed as manager at Old Trafford, he will aim to recruit players from the Dutch division. Antony has already been linked with a move to England, but it has now been rumoured that Manchester United would compete with Arsenal and Liverpool for the PSV winger's signature, according to reports.
Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are all said to be interested in the 22-year-old, who has contributed 14 assists in all competitions this season, according to the Athletic newspaper.
