Manchester United are on the verge of bringing in Erik ten Hag to Old Trafford as their new permanent manager.

As reported this week, Ten Hag is set to arrive on a three-year deal with an option for a fourth year – and over that time he'll have a massive job on his hands.

There are plenty of changes expected at United this summer which the Dutchman will be central to making. And it's obvious there's one massive issue at hand with a bloated, unmotivated squad needing a clear out and shake up.

While several players will likely be shown the door, Ten Hag will also be expected to work his magic on getting the best out of some existing misfiring talent that will remain.

Here's a look at five United players who will benefit from Erik ten Hag's arrival at the club.

1. Donny van de Beek

Currently on loan at Everton, the first player that's expected to receive a major boost is Donny van de Beek.

Van de Beek was the heartbeat of Ten Hag's high-octane Ajax side that performed brilliantly in their UEFA Champions League run to the semi-final stage in 2019.
