Senior Manchester United figures had looked at replacing Erik ten Hag but the Dutchman will remain in his post at Old Trafford after weeks of speculation over his future
Erik ten Hag will STAY as Manchester United manager after Sir Jim Ratcliffe and club chiefs finally made a decision on his future.
United contemplating sacking Ten Hag both despite last month’s shock FA Cup final victory over Manchester City, but they’ve now decided to stick with him. It was reported on Monday that Ratcliffe had even met former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel in Monaco to gauge his interest in talking the job.
Ten Hag’s future has led to major uncertainty at Old Trafford over the past fortnight, with Ratcliffe and co carrying out a lengthy end-of-season review. That culminated in the decision to keep Ten Hag, the Athletic report, and the Red Devils boss has agreed to remain in his post despite being made to wait so long.
Co-owner Ratcliffe and his INEOS colleagues, who took over football operations at Old Trafford in February, will now discuss extending Ten Hag’s contract beyond its current expiry in June 2025. Alongside Tuchel, England manager Gareth Southgate, ex-Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino, Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna and former Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi were all sounded out.
