Who will be the new Manchester United coach at the end of the season?
In recent months, several names have appeared in the press, such as that of Mauricio Pochettino, whose position at Paris Saint-Germain is extremely weakened by disappointing results...or that of Erik ten Hag (52).
And according to the latest revelations from Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils have set their sights on the current Ajax Amsterdam technician.
According to the journalist specializing in the transfer market, the Mancunian formation and the Dutchman would even be very close to agreeing since they would already be discussing "
the budget, the players, the long-term plans, the members staff
".
Under contract with the Lancers until June 2023, Erik ten Hag has a release clause of €2m.
Which should be no problem for Manchester United.
Thus, the current trend is for the arrival of the ex-midfielder on the Mancunian bench in place of Ralf Rangnick, who has been acting since the beginning of December 2021. “Wait and see”.

working on the extension

His way of training, his attitude, his commitment... I don't know how he was before, but now I feel he is very motivated and very happy.
I see a great professional.
[...] The club knows my priorities on the sporting level, and I hope that it will remain.
[...] If he works well, he can be one of the best in his position.
There are very few players who have Ousmane's qualities.
The club is not in the best financial position, we have to adapt, but I, Dembélé, would sign him immediately.
“The ball now seems in the camp of the tricolor striker.
