Manchester United will wait for Erik ten Hag to be finalised as their new head coach before making any concrete moves for new players, according to a report.

Manchester United will reportedly wait for Erik ten Hag to be finalised as their new head coach before making any concrete moves for new players.

A deal for Ten Hag is believed to have been completed, although there has not yet been any official confirmation from either club, with Ajax still fighting for silverware this term.

According to the Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils are keen to sign both Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips and RB Leipzig attacker Christopher Nkunku in the upcoming market.

However, the report claims that Ten Hag will have the right to veto any potential deal, with the Dutchman determined to have control of the club's transfer business.

Phillips is believed to have been identified by Man United as a leading midfield target, with the England international seen as a cheaper option to West Ham United's Declan Rice.

Nkunku, meanwhile, has been in excellent form for Leipzig this season, scoring 30 times and contributing 18 assists in 43 appearances in all competitions.

The 24-year-old is thought to have been recommended by Man United's current interim head coach Ralf Rangnick, who will become an advisor for the club once his managerial deal ends at the end of the season.
