Manchester United are targeting a strong 2024/25 season after deciding to hold onto Erik ten Hag as their head coach for the upcoming campaign. But they’re also looking to add more quality to his coaching and staff and seem to have agreed on bringing in another Dutch coach in Rene Hake.
Rene Hake Confirms Decision to Join Manchester United
What Did Hake Say About United Move?
Hake, who has been hailed as a “football animal”, has been managing Eredivisie side Go Ahead Eagles for the last few years, but is ready to make a step upwards and make a move to Old Trafford. He has more or less confirmed the decision to join Erik ten Hag’s coaching staff for the upcoming campaign as an assistant coach who will aid the Dutchman in coaching the Red Devils.

Speaking to ESPN on his decision to join the Red Devils, Hake stated: “Erik called me and asked if I was open to it. I don’t think I have to explain that I didn’t have to think about it very long before saying yes. It’s a great step for me and a great challenge. It will be great to gain experience in the best league in the world.”
What Else Are United Planning?
United have also been reported to have an interest in bringing back former striker Ruud van Nistelrooy to become a part of ten Hag’s support staff and perhaps help the current forwards improve their finishing skills. The Red Devils also recently confirmed Dan Ashworth as their new sporting director after coming to an agreement with Newcastle United for his services.

The Premier League heavyweights are actively looking to improve their squad for the upcoming season. They are reported to be in negotiations with Bayern Munich over the possibility of signing Matthijs de Ligt to improve their backline. They are also reportedly interested in signing Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee to improve their frontline. United kick off their 2024/25 Premier League season on August 16 against Fulham, and they would want all their coaching and playing additions done before that.
