Manchester United have edged closer to naming Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as their new manager.
Old Trafford officials continue to insist the process of appointing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's permanent successor is not complete and that it is premature to say a deal has been done.
However, it is understood Ten Hag is now the favoured candidate among senior figures at United.
It was clear the choice had narrowed to Ten Hag or Mauricio Pochettino.
