"Manchester United" chooses the main candidate for the long-term coaching role © JumpStory

Reliable source Henry Winter announces that Ajax coach Erik ten Hag has become the main candidate to take on the role of Manchester United coach. In addition, Winter claims that the outgoing executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward will contribute to bringing ten Hag to the club. One of his last tasks before leaving the team is, together with the new vice-chairman Richard Arnold, Ralf Rangnick, John Murtough and Darren Fletcher, to appoint a new long-term strategist. According to Henry Winter, Ten Hag perfectly fits Woodward's three coaching criteria, which are: winning trophies, attacking football, and providing opportunities for youth. Many thought that Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino had the best chances of taking on the role of United coach, but the Dutchman is leading in the race.
