TEN OUT OF TEN Erik ten Hag now FAVOURITE to become Man Utd boss.

RIK TEN HAG is favourite to become Manchester United’s new boss - after a set of dossiers was completed on all candidates.

The club have compiled exhaustive background checks on each of their possible targets, with the Ajax coach coming out well on top.

Ten Hag and former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino were in a neck-and-neck race.

But after the club spent weeks putting together their dossiers, they now believe it is Dutchman Ten Hag who can be the manager for at least the next five years - and take United back to the summit of English and European football.

United want to be able to make an announcement before the end of the season so the new boss can hit the ground running ahead of a crucial summer of recruitment.
