Manchester United have agreed compensation terms with Ajax for head coach Erik ten Hag and assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.

The Mirror says United have agreed a £2.5million compensation package with Ajax for Eric ten Hag and his assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.

United had already sealed a three-year-deal with the two Dutchmen, with the option of a 12-month extension. But while they have been able to trigger a clause in Ten Hag's contract worth £1.6million, the Amsterdam club were unwilling to allow Van der Gaag to join him at Old Trafford without more money being paid.

It is understood that United have got their duo by offering a package worth £2.5million.

There are likely to be more additions to Ten Hag's staff. Robin van Persie has been sounded out about a return to the club he helped win the Premier League in 2013.

But the former Holland striker is working in Feyenoord's academy whilst studying his coaching badges and his son Shaqueel is coming through the ranks at the Rotterdam club.
