By Manchester United has decided to retain Erik ten Hag as their manager following a comprehensive season review. The club is currently in discussions to extend his tenure. Despite other potential candidates being considered, the club’s analysis supported Ten Hag’s continuation, especially in light of his FA Cup victory and the challenges posed by a string of player injuries.
Ten Hag, whose initial contract is set to conclude after the next season, may see an extension, with the club holding an option to prolong it for an additional year.
Although United ended the season in eighth place, their lowest in the Premier League history, Ten Hag led the team to an FA Cup win over Manchester City, marking his second consecutive trophy win. Despite a season plagued by injuries, Ten Hag’s leadership ensured United’s qualification for the Europa League through their FA Cup success.
The review acknowledged Ten Hag’s efforts and deemed him deserving of the opportunity to prove his capabilities further, particularly within the new sporting framework established after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS assumed control of football operations.
