Manchester United can prise Erik ten Hag away from Ajax for a cut-price compo fee this summer.
The Daily Mail says United have been informed leading managerial candidate Ten Hag will be available for as little as £1.6million compensation this summer.
The current Ajax coach is one of the leading candidates to become the Old Trafford club's next full-time boss at the end of the season.
And it is understood United chiefs made enquiries as to how much it will cost to release Ten Hag from his contract from the Amsterdam club.
Those conversations are understood to have taken place at the end of last week.
It is believed Ajax would be due €2million (£1.6million) for Ten Hag, who signed a new two year contract with the Dutch club last summer.
However, Ajax would also demand compensation for any staff Ten Hag decides to bring with him from Amsterdam which would push the total package closer to the £2million mark.
