Erik Ten Hag will continue as Manchester United’s manager following a post-season review conducted by the club’s board. The review was initiated immediately after the FA Cup final, amid rumors that Ten Hag might be sacked regardless of the outcome of the match against Manchester City.
However, United’s impressive 2-1 victory in the final provided a positive context for the review. The club hierarchy has since engaged in “constructive conversations” with Ten Hag regarding the outcome of the review and the future direction of the club.
It is now understood that United are discussing an extension to Ten Hag’s contract, which is set to enter its final season. The 54-year-old Dutchman has expressed his satisfaction with the decision to retain him as manager, though he was reportedly becoming frustrated with the duration of the review process.
