Rene Hake, the manager of Go Ahead Eagles, will join Manchester United’s coaching staff as part of a personnel overhaul, according to The Telegraph.
Last season, Hake, 52, guided the Dutch team to ninth place in the Eredivisie.
As part of the Ineos-led overhaul, current assistants Steve McClaren and Mitchell van der Gaag, as well as forwards coach Benni McCarthy, face uncertain futures.
Hake and Erik ten Hag have been compared to each other due to their similar approaches, having worked together at Twente’s youth level.
Hake could join the Hag’s ten and the arrival of fellow Dutchman and former Man United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy at Old Trafford could complete the Premier League club’s coaching set-up.
It is unclear where Van Nistelrooy’s arrival might leave McCarthy, whose contract expires at the end of the month.
The renewal of Ten Hag’s contract is the first priority for United, so they have not commented on any coaching arrivals.
It is believed that Man United are looking for a new coach similar to Manchester City, where Pep Guardiola is supported by a large back-line.
After deciding to keep ten Hags at the club, the Red Devils have moved to confirm the appointment of the coaching staff and the next step will be to welcome new players to the club.
Man United is ready to sign new players
The Premier League giants are expected to confirm the signing of a new striker, central midfielder and defender this summer.
Man United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is determined to return the club to the successful days of Sir Alex Ferguson.
However, he knows that it will take time and he has asked for patience from the fans.
After analyzing the poor performance of the team last season which ended up in eighth place in the league, Ineos has decided to make many changes.
