Antony and 4 other star players Erik ten Hag helped influence amid Manchester United rebuild

Ajax are expecting Erik ten Hag to become the next permanent Manchester United manager and if that turns out to be the case, the Dutchman has a major rebuild ahead of him.

With much of the United discussion surrounding the current crop of players and who stays or goes, Ten Hag has a good track record of developing top-class players in Amsterdam.

The 33-year-old has emphasised his importance to Ten Hag's side over the past few seasons. In his four years in the Netherlands, he has won two Eredivisie titles and two KNVB Cups.
