Man Utd 'close in' on deal for ten Hag as new manager
Erik ten Hag reportedly wants to bring a former Manchester United player in to help coach players at Old Trafford. The 52-year-old is poised to take over from Ralf Rangnick at the end of the campaign. However, Robin van Persie looks unlikely to join him at the Premier League giants.

Speaking recently, former United defender Jaap Stam confessed he’d love to return to the Red Devils - and would accept ‘any role’.
"In principle, I am open to any role at Manchester United," Stam told Voetbal Primeur. "I have enjoyed working and living there, and I owe a lot to the club.
"If I can help Manchester United in any way, I'm open to it, provided it's in a role that suits me."
Stam is currently a free agent after leaving FC Cincinnati in September.
And that could make him an appealing prospect for United, where he won three league titles on the trot during his playing days.
