\u00a0<\/p>\n

Word stemming from the media late on Thursday evening points towards a clear frontrunner having emerged in the Manchester United managerial sweepstakes.<\/p>\n

The tactician in question? Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n

Recent weeks have of course seen the name of Dutchman ten Hag take centre stage in the chatter surrounding fallen giants United.<\/p>\n

This comes with the Old Trafford brass, amid their ongoing search for a summer replacement for Ralf Rangnick, understood to have earmarked Ajax\u2019s beloved boss as a chief target.<\/p>\n

Alongside Paris Saint-Germain headmaster Mauricio Pochettino, ten Hag has long been the manager most persistently tipped for the post, owing to another fine campaign in Amsterdam to date.<\/p>\n

The club\u2019s fanbase, meanwhile, have already made clear their backing for the 52-year-old, ahead of an absolutely crucial decision when it comes to not only United\u2019s immediate future, but long-term prospects, too.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And, as alluded to above, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then those hopeful of ten Hag being chosen as the man to lead a new era on the red half of Manchester could well soon have their wishes granted.<\/p>\n

This comes amid fresh claims surrounding the Dutchman on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

As per a report from the reliable Jason Burt of The Telegraph, ten Hag has emerged as \u2018the clear favourite\u2019 to take up the reins at United ahead of next season.<\/p>\n

A final round of interviews for the position, in turn, are now viewed as imminent.<\/p>\n
