Erik ten Hag is set to outline his Manchester United vision on Monday when he holds his first news conference as Red Devils boss.
The former Ajax head coach has secured an early release from his contract at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, allowing him to get down to work in his new post.
A busy summer lies ahead for Ten Hag, with a host of players set to leave Old Trafford after a wretched season for the club.
Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, Phil Jones and Jesse Lingard look set to depart, while doubts surround others, including Eric Bailly and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
A substantial clear-out is likely to be followed by a recruitment drive as Ten Hag looks to build a squad capable of putting up a greater challenge for a Champions League place.
United finished sixth in the 2021-22 Premier League season, accruing only 58 points, the fewest they have managed in the English top flight since the 1989-90 First Division campaign. They will play in the Europa League next season.
Ten Hag was at Selhurst Park on Sunday to watch United slump to a 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace in their final game of the season, refusing to speak to a Sky Sports television reporter after the game when approached outside the ground.
United said the Dutchman would appear at a 12:00 BST news conference. He will be expected to give his views on United’s season and how the club can improve their on-pitch fortunes under his charge.
The future of Cristiano Ronaldo in United’s set-up will also likely be a matter for Ten Hag to address, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner having a year left on the contract he signed when arriving from Juventus last August. Ronaldo has scored a flurry of goals and reports have suggested Ten Hag sees him continuing to play a crucial role.
Ten Hag may also be asked about how he sees the role of Ralf Rangnick, with this season’s interim head coach having joined the club with a view to taking on a consultancy role for the next two seasons.
