Erik ten Hag is in constant contact with new employers Manchester United.
The Daily Mail says United are respectful of Ajax coach Ten Hag's commitments in Holland in the middle of a title race — his side beat PEC Zwolle 3-0 yesterday — but on days off, he is in regular contact with the football department headed by John Murtough and Darren Fletcher.
The incoming manager will have a key role in deciding whether United's out of contract players will be offered deals to stay, before he ends his spell in Amsterdam on May 15.
So far there has been no strong indication from Ten Hag that Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Edinson Cavani — all due to leave in the summer — need to be secured.
Instead, there is a belief that freeing up squad spaces will allow the 52-year-old to make four or five signings.
In addition, Andreas Pereira, Anthony Martial and James Garner are all available to return from loan.
