You don’t sack a man that has out classed Pep Guardiola in suit in front of 90,000 at Wembley. Nobody has ever done that”- BREAKING: The decision has been reached to retain Erik ten Hag as Manchester United’s manager According to Fabrizio Romano Ten Hag has been notified following INEOS’s final decision. Ten Hag will manage Manchester United in the upcoming campaign.
A new report reveals that Manchester United has reached a conclusive decision regarding Erik ten Hag’s role at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag’s future with the club has been in question since Sir Jim Ratcliffe purchased a 27.7% stake in Manchester United in early 2024. The team’s erratic performance and unsatisfactory outcomes throughout the season cast doubt on Ten Hag’s capability to steer the club forward under INEOS’ ownership. Both fans and analysts have been skeptical about whether he could fulfill the high expectations tied to the club’s ambitious goals.
In spite of the increasing doubt, Ten Hag led the team to an FA Cup victory at the end of the season, providing a beacon of hope and indicating that future triumphs might still be achievable under his leadership.
The article stated, “Erik ten Hag will stay as Manchester United manager after the club’s end-of-season review culminated in a decision to keep the Dutchman — and he has agreed to remain at Old Trafford. After a period of considerable uncertainty regarding Ten Hag’s future, United engaged in discussions with the 54-year-old on Tuesday, and both sides preferred to extend his tenure.”
The FA Cup victory is seen by some as a sign that, with adequate support and stability, Ten Hag could still lead Manchester United to achieve their objectives under Ratcliffe’s partial ownership.
The Athletic confirmed in a recent report that the decision to retain Ten Hag as manager has been finalized. The decision was spearheaded by Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford, opting to continue with Ten Hag for the time being. Discussions about extending his contract, which is set to expire in June 2025, are anticipated.
“Erik ten Hag will stay as Manchester United manager after the club’s end-of-season review culminated in a decision to keep the Dutchman — and he has agreed to remain at Old Trafford,” the report noted. “United held talks with the 54-year-old on Tuesday, and both parties preferred for his tenure to continue.”
