ERIK TEN HAG’S agent Kees Vos is becoming increasingly influential at Manchester United.

The Dutchman played a key role in getting deals over the line for Rasmus Hojlund and Sofyan Amrabat in the summer.

But SunSport exclusively revealed that his growing presence at the club is ruffling feathers.

Vos is the founder of agency Sports Entertainment Group (SEG), who boast over 600 clients.

Many represented by the super agent have links to Dutch football with Ten Hag among those with a close relationship to him.

The manager’s son Nigel is even employed by SEG in an analysis role.

Man Utd first worked with them when they signed Robin van Persie in 2012 and then again three years later to snap up Memphis Depay.

But any business with the agency was rare in the seasons that followed – until Ten Hag showed up.

SEG are now back on the scene and they represent £72million man Rasmus Hojlund.

He was again vital in the loan deal for Sofyan Amrabat, helping Man Utd in their negotiations with the player and Fiorentina.

Vos was back in Manchester last week as Van Persie was in the stands to watch the 3-2 comeback win over Aston Villa.

After the game, he posted a snap with the 2013 Premier League champion alongside the caption: “We will always have your back Erik.”

It came a few months after Vos’ last visit to Old Trafford when he uploaded a photo of himself stood in the tunnel, saying: “My wife and I have a different meaning of the word home these days.”

Reports have described SEG as the Man Utd’s “go-to agency” when it comes to transfers.

A club having close ties to an agent is normal – but Vos’ growing power is causing some alarm.

SunSport understand that SEG have annoyed the agents in charge of some United academy players.

They have been trying to get the wonderkids to ditch their current representatives and sign for them.

Ex-United youngster Zidane Iqbal penned a deal with SEG and just two months later he left the club permanently to join Dutch outfit Utrecht.
