JAKARTA - Manchester United's (MU) effort to bring Erik ten Hag to Old Trafford seems to have found a bright spot. The Dutch coach has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with the Red Devils.
However, Manchester United still has to wait for the right time to be able to announce a cooperation agreement with Ten Hag. The Red Devils are believed to be making an official announcement after the Dutch Cup final.
Reporting from The Athletic, MU still has to be patient because they also have to complete administrative matters with Ajax as the club that owns the current Ten Hag. There is also a release fee of around £2 million to be paid to Ajax although that is not a problem for a club as big as Manchester United.
In addition, the announcement of the joining of Ten Hag as a new coach for next season could not be realized immediately. That's because Ten Hag still has a big job waiting to be completed at the end of this season.

Nearby, Ten Hag still has to escort his team to appear in the Dutch Cup final or KNVB Cup on Sunday, April 17 to face PSV Eindhoven in De Kuip. After that Ajax also still had to fight with PSV in the Dutch League.
With five weeks remaining in the league, Ajax is top on 72 points, four ahead of PSV. Both teams have a good chance of winning the trophy.
Therefore, MU is said to be the fastest to announce Ten Hag as its new manager after the Dutch Cup final. For now, United and Ten Hag will talk about the coaching staff that will be brought in next season.
Erik ten Hag managed to beat another MU target candidate, namely Mauricio Pochettino, who is currently still coaching Paris Saint-Germain. With this decision, United's management will also move quickly to contact Pochettino that they choose Ten Hag.
Ten Hag, who is now 52 years old, has been in charge of Ajax since December 2017 after joining from the Bayern Munich II team. For more than four years, Ten Hag presented two Dutch League titles and a 2019 Champions League semifinalist for Ajax.
