Manchester United fans have been reacting to the news that Erik ten Hag is currently taking English lessons in the Netherlands.
MEN Sport understands that the Ajax boss and PSG head coach Mauricio Pochettino are the front runners for the full-time position of manager at Old Trafford. Ralf Rangnick is currently in charge on an interim basis and is expected to move to an advisory role at the end of the season.
The Daily Mail reported yesterday evening that the 52-year-old is currently 'brushing up' on the language ahead of a potential move to a Premier League club at the end of this season. They add that Ajax are believed to be aware of Ten Hag's intentions to leave the Johan Cruyff Arena in the summer.

Ajax's current coach was believed to be in the running to join Tottenham Hotspur last summer. However, 'well-placed' sources claim he missed out due to the language barrier.
Upon hearing the news of Ten Hag's lessons, United fans have responded optimistically, hoping that this is a sign he is set to arrive at the Theatre of Dreams. Here is what some supporters had to say on social media.
