Erik ten Hag would reportedly look to sign Tottenham Hotspur winger Steven Bergwijn for Manchester United should he take over at Old Trafford this summer.

The Ajax boss is the firm favourite to succeed interim manager Ralf Rangnick in charge of the 20-time English champions, emerging as the leading candidate ahead of the likes of Mauricio Pochettino, Luis Enrique and Julen Lopetegui.

Reports have suggested that an agreement has now been reached for the Dutchman to sign a four-year deal with Man United, while current boss Rangnick moves up into an advisory role.

Confirmation of Ten Hag's appointment could allegedly arrive soon after Ajax's KNVB-Beker game against PSV Eindhoven on Sunday, and speculation has already started swirling regarding possible coaching appointments and signings early in his reign.

The Daily Mail claims that Tottenham's Steven Bergwijn is one of the players on his radar, having held a long-standing interest in the 24-year-old.

Ten Hag attempted to sign Bergwijn for Ajax during the January transfer window, only for Spurs to block the deal in the hope that the Netherlands international would help to secure Champions League qualification this season.

However, the winger has since started just one Premier League game, falling behind January arrival Dejan Kulusevski in the pecking order courtesy of the Juventus loanee's prolific partnership with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.

The report claims that Tottenham would now be willing to let Bergwijn leave the club this summer, but only if their £20m asking price is met.

There is understood to be interest from clubs in Germany and France, although Ten Hag's possible arrival at Old Trafford could see Manchester United jump to the front of the queue.

Ten Hag was in the stadium to watch Bergwijn score three times for Netherlands in games against Denmark and Germany during the recent international break, and has reportedly tried to sign him for Ajax in each of the last three transfer windows.

Bergwijn recently hinted that he will assess his future in the summer due to a lack of playing time at Spurs.

Ten Hag, meanwhile, is thought to want to bring the likes of Antonio Rudiger, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice to Old Trafford should he take over, while coaches such as Robin van Persie, Steve McClaren and Mitchell van der Gaag are among those to have been linked with a backroom role under the 52-year-old.

Bergwijn has featured 27 times in all competitions for Spurs this season, including 20 in the Premier League, but only four of those league appearances have been from the start.

Since joining Spurs from PSV in January 2020, he has scored eight goals and created 10 more in 78 appearances. body check tags ::
