Ajax coach Erik ten Haag is close to taking over the position of head coach of Manchester United, "Sky" reported today.
Ajax sources told Sky last week that negotiations were underway over compensation and how to officially break the news after he made a good impression in an interview.
United denied holding official talks and called such an interpretation "premature".
The English club adheres to that position, insisting that no agreement has been reached with anyone, and that the process of selecting a coach is still ongoing.
The Dutch coach still has a year left on his contract with Ajax, but the excellent relations between the clubs have made negotiations easier and the club from Amsterdam will not cause any problems.
One of the candidates for the new manager of United is the current coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Mauricio Pochettino.
The aggravating circumstance for the arrival of Pochettino is the compensation of 15 million pounds, which United should pay to PSG, while the club from Manchester would pay 1,7 million pounds for Ten Haag.
