Breaking news: Ajax board and Ten hag potential replacement for Ralf Ragnick as caoch , finally makes decision clear to Manchester United fans over a potential move to move .

 Manchester United are reportedly

 closing in on signing Erik ten Hag 

as their permanent manager next season

. This was hinted at by United legend

 and current chief of Ajax, Edwin 

van der Sar, in a recent interview.

The Dutch professional football manager

 remains a hot prospect as the new full-time 

manager of Manchester United. Ten 

Hag has had a successful managerial 

career with Ajax and is the leading 

candidate to take up the reign from

 Ralf Rangnick.

Rangnick joined the club in November

 as interim manager after the sacking 

of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The German's

 six-month period as interim manager

 expires at the end of the season.

 As per his contract, he is set to take

 up a consultancy role at the club 

post his managerial stint.

Hence, the club is mulling plans to bring

 in a seasoned full-time manager at the

 helm. The club's board has zeroed in 

on Ten Hag and Paris Saint-Germain 

manager Mauricio Pochettino as the 

two probable candidates.

As per The Sunday Times, Ten Hag 

has already reached out to certain 

players in the United squad to get an 

understanding of the situation. Van 

der Sar has given the reports some 

legitimacy, saying that Ajax are ready

 to let Ten Hag depart this summer.

Speaking to Dutch TV Channel 

RTL7, he said:

"This means that we are doing

 something well. It's the same

 with the players. When we 

perform, the interest comes. 

If there is interest in our players

 or coach… we've all been 

blown away in the past. So 

be it, we have to make sure 

we're ready by then. That 

the lists are filled in."

Lee Sharpe predicts Jadon 

Sancho to become a 'superstar

' at Manchester United

Former Manchester United player 

Lee Sharpe has predicted that Jadon

 Sancho will flourish at Old Trafford 

and become a 'superstar' at the English

 club. The 50-year-old said that Sancho

 had a difficult start at the club but 

he is getting his form back.

Sharpe also praised Marcus Rashford, 

hoping that the English international 

will soon gain his lost confidence to 

perform better. Speaking to Andy 

Mitten of The Athletic, Sharpe shared 

his views on Sancho and said:

“I like Jadon Sancho. He can 

go past people for fun; he’s 

got a clever footballing brain 

in that he makes the right 

decisions at the right time. 

He can see a pass, chooses 

the right pass, he plays at 

pace, he doesn’t just swing 

a cross in. I think he will be 

a superstar at United.”
