Ten Hag arrives in London prior to taking over as Man Utd manager

Erik ten Hag has landed in London as his Manchester United revolution gathers pace.

Long-term assistant Mitchell van der Gaag has arrived with Ten Hag, with the club set to confirm his position as new No 2.

The two Dutchmen arrived in the capital via private jet on Wednesday afternoon. The pair have been working from Holland prior to their arrival in London.

The new United coaching duo are expected to hold a meeting with colleagues over the next 24 hours.

Ten Hag and Van der Gaag could attend United’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Last week Ten Hag called a vital planning meeting in Amsterdam to which Steve McClaren was summoned - a major indication that the former England boss will join Van der Gaag as an assistant coach.

Ten Hag wants McClaren - who worked successfully under Sir Alex Ferguson - to be part of his set up, but the club have so far fallen short of announcing his appointment.

But the fact he was into called the meeting in the Dutch capital suggest that the 61-year-old is poised to return to the club he famously helped win the Treble in 1999.

McClaren worked with Ten Hag during the Englishman’s first season at FC Twente in 2008-2009 - with the Dutchman working as his assistant.
