Ten Hague, of course, has emerged as United’s preferred candidate in recent weeks, having been interviewed for the role last month. Reports this week said United were close to a deal, with the 52-year-old agreeing verbally to a three-year deal at Old Trafford. United have not yet made a final decision, although they intend to arrange their appointment before the end of the season. Speculation is now rife about potential helpers with a United connection. If appointed, Ten Hague will face a great summer after a sad season for United. However, he may have been closely following a target reported on Wednesday. Darwin Nunez impressed once again as he scored for Benfica as he was left out of the Champions League by Liverpool. The striker has been linked with United and with the Reds aiming for a new frontman, the 22-year-old would definitely fit. Follow all the latest news and rumors with our live updates below.
