The new manager of Manchester United is on the verge of being confirmed.
Sources in the Netherlands say an agreement in principle is in place, but United say no deal has been done.
The new interim manager is a Dutch man, who was appointed in November.
Mauricio Pochettino was the other leading candidate.
The appointment of Ten Hag is not expected to be official before the Dutch Cup final.
The Eredivisie leaders are trying to win their third Dutch league title under Ten Hag.
They lost to Benfica in the last 16 of the competition.
The appointment of Ten Hag is expected to be a three-year contract with the option of an additional year. A sense of certainty will be brought to a club that is slipping away alarmingly as it wrestles with a mounting number of problems.
After a run of one win in seven games, United are unlikely to make it to the group stage of the competition, their worst sequence of results since 2019.
With many big-name players either out of contract, such as Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard, or facing uncertain futures, it promises to be a summer of upheaval at Old United.
The structures put in place at United, which include John Murtough as football director, are more suited to the management style of Ten Hag.
Ten Hag will become the fifth permanent manager at Old United.
