Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick refuses to be drawn on the recent speculation surrounding Ajax manager Erik ten Hag.

Manchester United interim head coach Ralf Rangnick has refused to be drawn on suggestions that Erik ten Hag has now agreed to become the English club's next permanent manager.

The Red Devils are believed to be close to announcing that the Dutchman, currently in charge of Ajax, will arrive at Old Trafford this summer.

When asked about the situation during Friday's press conference to preview the Everton clash, Rangnick said that he would not be commenting on a potential arrival for Ten Hag, but the German said that those who have been interviewed "are top managers".

"I think this is the press conference for tomorrow's game and I don't intend to speak about any possible new managers here," Rangnick told reporters.

"From what I know, all the managers with whom the club have so far spoken are top managers, top coaches. If this includes Erik ten Hag, then it's also true with him. That's all I can say at this stage. I know which coaches they have spoken to so far and that's why I can say all of the coaches that have spoken to are top coaches."

Rangnick will take on a two-year consultancy role at Old Trafford this summer, but he currently has the task of leading the club to a top-four finish in the Premier League table, which would bring Champions League football for next season.
