Erik ten Hag is said to have agreed to a four-year contract to become Manchester United's next manager.
After positive talks with the Red Devils hierarchy, the Ajax head coach is thought to be the leading candidate to replace interim boss Ralf Rangnick ahead of the 2022-23 season.
According to the Daily Mirror, United officials made a breakthrough in negotiations with Ten Hag on Tuesday, and the Dutchman has agreed in principle to sign a four-year contract to take over in the summer.
According to the report, Ten Hag presented a long-term plan to United executives during an interview, explaining his desire to revolutionize the team's style of play and have complete control over business in the transfer market.
According to one previous report, the Red Devils could announce the 52-year-signing old's as soon as next week, but they would need to activate the £1.7m release clause in his Ajax contract.
Former United coaches Rene Meulensteen and Steve McLaren are thought to be among the possible candidates to join Ten Hag's backroom staff if he is appointed at Old Trafford.
