Though the Red Devils haven't completely ruled out the possibility of appointing Mauricio Pochettino from Paris Saint-Germain as their new manager, according to The Athletic, Ten Hag is winning the race as negotiations approach a "advanced" stage.

It remains to be seen what the final conclusion will be, but according to Stretty News, new discussions with Ten Hag are likely as he pushes into pole position to succeed interim manager Ralf Rangnick in the coming weeks.

The Dutch tactician has made an impression during his time at Ajax and appears to be capable of implementing a completely different philosophy and style of play at Manchester United if he is given the job.

Erik ten Hag appears to be the frontrunner for Manchester United.

After years of adversity under the guidance of managers like as Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, this appears to be a welcome change of course for Manchester United.

Ten Hag, unlike Pochettino, has not yet established himself in the Premier League, but then again, neither was Jurgen Klopp before he had a revolutionary influence on Liverpool when he took over as manager.
