Ajax are now expecting Ten Hague to become the next coach of United, but the agreement is far from complete. There are details that still need to be discussed and agreed between the two sides. Ten Haag has submitted his demands to the club and discussions are ongoing. Reports this week suggest that RB Leipzig is interested in Ten Hag was no surprise. They could be interpreted freely as intended pressure on United to meet certain requirements and it remains to be seen if this will work. Although Ten Hague would be an exciting date, it shows how far the standards of United that keep the aces in the talks have fallen.

The club is in crisis and in transition. It did not take long for the hope and optimism brought by the new campaign to be replaced by this familiar feeling of emptiness and despair. It was not easy for the supporters and they deserve better. Pilgrimage to Old Trafford is supposed to be the highlight of the week and is now a joyless chore. He spent another season without silverware. The standards at the club have never been so low in recent decades and it is indicative that United are suffering from the worst drought for trophies in 40 years. This speaks louder than any word. Ten Haag will take on the biggest challenge of his career and he will know that. The Dutchman has run the Go Ahead Eagles, Bayern Munich II, Utrecht and Ajax. All of his work at Ajax is impressive, but does he have the character to run United? You do not have to be a football fan to recognize that joining Manchester United at the moment has the potential to be a frustrating control of reality. It would represent a completely different challenge, even without the club being involved in the mud that it is. We hope that Ten Hague can overcome these obstacles, but he could understand his doubts. As Gary Neville has suggested over the weekend, his demands are unlikely to be financial. “They will be about control, recruitment, structure, youth,” Neville said. “I suspect he wants to come and make sure he is not exposed to what other managers have been exposed to in the last 10 years.” The arrival of Ten Hague would be warmly welcomed, but it is a condemnatory indictment of the whereabouts of United in power in talks with the club. Ten Hag’s success came exclusively from the Eredivisie and this section is not a reliable measure. Frank de Boer left Ajax for Crystal Palace in 2017 and history will remember him as the worst coach in the Premier League of all time.
