After a series of official talks with club authorities, the Ajax head coach remains the favoured option.
Ten Hag has issued Manchester United with a list of demands. United must agree to these terms, or else they risk losing their manager to a rival. The Dutchman is thought to want a say in player recruiting, including both incoming and exiting players.
After a lacklustre season this time around, it is believed that the squad will require a significant amount of adjustment to succeed in the future.
Ten Hag also wants to bring in a few new coaches to help rejuvenate the backroom staff Mitchell van der Gaag, his current assistant, former Twente manager Steve McClaren, and former United striker Robin van Persie are among them.
Given how many fans want to see him at the club next season, the list of demands will be something that many fans will want the club authorities to comply with. However, they have been stubborn with their prior managers in recent seasons, causing a lot of resentment behind the scenes.
United fans will have to wait and see if Ten Hag receives an official announcement in the coming weeks.
