Ten Hag reportedly believes that Coady will fit into his Manchester United team, especially if the Premier League club are able to get Cristiano Ronaldo off their books in the January transfer window.
The Netherlands international, who can operate as a winger or upfront, will cost £40 million, with PSV willing to sell him in the middle of the season.
The report has added that Ten Hag believes that ‘Gakpo could be an ideal player to come in’, and that the Dutch boss is growing in confidence that United will be able to snap him up after the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.
The 23-year-old is part of the Netherlands national football team at the Qatar World Cup.
Liverpool are also interested in Gakpo.
CM have reported that Liverpool have already made contact over signing the winger.
The Mirror have claimed interest from Arsenal in the youngster, while GiveMeSport have reported that Tottenham could make a move for him.

Gakpo has scored nine goals and given 12 assists in 14 Eredisivie matches for PSV so far this season.
