Manchester United will reportedly name Ajax's Erik ten Hag as their new manager.
The 52-year-old has been strongly linked with the role in recent weeks and was interviewed by the 20-time English champions during the recent international break.
Paris Saint-Germain's Mauricio Pochettino had long been considered as the favourite for the position, but Ten Hag has moved past the Argentine in the pecking order this year.
According to ESPN, Man United have now decided on Ten Hag as their next manager, with the Red Devils preparing to 'finalise the appointment' of the Dutchman.
The former central defender started his managerial career with Go Ahead Eagles in 2012, while he has also been in charge of Bayern Munich II and Utrecht.
Since arriving at Ajax in 2017, Ten Hag has delivered two league titles and two Dutch Cups, and his team are currently four points clear of second-placed PSV Eindhoven at the top of the Eredivisie table.
The experienced coach has allegedly already discussed possible transfer targets for Man United this summer, including some players that he manages at Ajax.
The Red Devils are currently battling for a top-four spot in the Premier League table, sitting seventh, three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur ahead of Saturday's clash with Everton.
