Ajax manager Erik ten Hag is the clear favourite to become Manchester United's new head coach, according to a report.

Ajax manager Erik ten Hag is reportedly the clear favourite to become Manchester United's new head coach.

The Dutchman recently underwent an interview with the 20-time English champions, and it is understood that the Red Devils are now sounding out the compensation fee required to release him from his deal in Amsterdam.

Paris Saint-Germain's Mauricio Pochettino and Spain's Luis Enrique have also been strongly linked with the role, which will become vacant when interim head coach Ralf Rangnick steps aside this summer.

However, according to The Telegraph, Ten Hag is now firmly at the head of the queue, with the Ajax boss the clear favourite to move to Man United for the 2022-23 campaign.

The report claims that the Red Devils will carry out one final round of interviews before officially naming their new head coach.

Ten Hag has won two league titles and two KNVB Cups since arriving at Ajax in 2017, while his team are currently two points clear of PSV Eindhoven at the top of the Eredivisie table.

Man United are believed to be planning to sign four new players during this summer's transfer window, although much of the club's activity will depend on whether they can offer Champions League football next term.
