The duo had previously been working for the Red Devils remotely, so as not to distract from Ralf Rangnick’s preparations for United’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace.

According to the Mail, Ten Hag and Van der Gaag could be in attendance at Selhurst Park to watch their new side in action.

Both men are expected to meet with Red Devils colleagues today.

Rangnick, however, will continue preparing United for Sunday’s final match.
