Manchester United's approach for Ajax manager Erik ten Hag has reportedly been put in doubt.
The Dutchman is said to be keen to play a key role in the Red Devils' transfer business if he is appointed and may turn down an offer that states limited involvement.
According to The Mirror, Ten Hag has issued an ultimatum to the English giants, stating that he is willing to snub an approach if his demands are not met, despite emerging as the favourite for the job.
The 52-year-old is said to be keen to shape the playing squad to the demands of his style of football, with emphasis placed on lowering the age profile at Old Trafford.
Alongside Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino, Ten Hag has emerged as a frontrunner to take over in Manchester in the summer, with interim boss Ralf Rangnick set to take up a role as a consultant at the end of the current campaign.
Since Rangnick took over from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November, the Red Devils have won eight of their 17 Premier Leauge matches after a defeat to relegation-threatened Everton on Saturday, leaving them seventh in the English top flight as a result, while they dropped out of the Champions League round-of-16 at the hands of Atletico Madrid in March.
