Ten Hag also is reportedly ready to leave Ajax at the end of this season. Pochettino's uncertain situation at PSG following the French side's exit from the Champions League had led to speculations of the Argentine coach joining Manchester United next season. But Ten Hag is the one who Manchester United have zeroed in on with Ajax ready to part ways with the Dutchman.
Manchester United are likely to miss out on a Champions League spot next season with them currently in the seventh place, behind Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and West Ham. The Red Devils have had a forgettable campaign this season as they have struggled to perform consistently despite having a good summer transfer window where they were reunited with five-time Ballon d'Or champion Cristiano Ronaldo.
