Erik ten Hag will remain as Manchester United manager
The Dutchman stays following an end of season review.
Erik ten Hag will remain as Manchester United manager following an end of season review by the club’s board.
The 54-year-old who guided United to the FA Cup last season was under huge pressure following an underwhelming campaign which saw the Red Devils finish eighth in the Premier League, and get knocked out of the Champions League in the group stage.
United considered the likes of Thomas Tuchel who met Sir Jim Ratcliffe in Monaco, whilst Gareth Southgate and Roberto De Zerbi were also linked with the job.
However, United have ended speculation surrounding the Dutchman by confirming he will stay, and negotiations over a new contract will commence soon.
Fabrizio Romano took to X.com to confirm the news and said:
“BREAKING: Erik ten Hag stays as Manchester United manager, decision has been made.
“Ten Hag has been informed after final decision by INEOS.
“Contract talks will also follow, as @David_Ornstein has reported.
“Ten Hag will be Man United manager for next season.”
Romano added a further update and said:
“Manchester United have already started initial talks with Erik ten Hag and his camp over new contract.
“Negotiations will follow to agree on new contract, keep going together also on the summer transfer window plans, Ten Hag STAYS.”
The Dutchman arrived from Ajax in 2022 and has won the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup during his time at Old Trafford.
With the managerial situation sorted United can now focus on transfer business as they look to strengthen a squad which struggled last season.
The Red Devils are in the market for defensive reinforcements following the departure of Raphael Varane, and have been linked with a move for Nice centre back Jean-Clair Todibo.
At the other end of the pitch United are looking for a striker to complement and compete with Rasmus Hojlund, whilst they have also expressed a strong interest in Crystal Palace star Michael Olise.
The darkest day in the history of old Trafford, this explains what a right royal mess united have become, anyone can win any final anywhere and against the best , let's hope the players underperform and fake injuries again
