Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick remained tight-lipped when asked about the club’s pursuit of Erik ten Hag.
Ralf Rangnick refused to be drawn on reports Manchester United are set to appoint Erik ten Hag as manager, but confirmed Cristiano Ronaldo would return for Saturday’s Premier League match at Everton.
United are reportedly close to finalising the appointment of their new manager, with Ajax boss Ten Hag expected to be the club’s chosen candidate.
Sources from Ajax and the Dutchman’s camp have told Sky Sports News talks over compensation and how to handle a formal announcement had taken place, after he impressed in his interview. United denied having official discussions, calling such an advanced reading of the situation “premature”, and interim boss Rangnick declined to comment on reports regarding his potential successor.
