Ten Hag has ‘no regrets’ over taking Man United job

Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, asserts that despite the club’s current difficulties, he has no regrets about accepting the position.

With a year remaining on his contract, Ten Hag faces significant pressure following a string of poor results, including a humiliating 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace.

United’s decline to eighth place in the Premier League, outside the European spots, has fueled speculation that new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe might consider a managerial change.

“I don’t regret being here for one second,” affirmed Ten Hag. “This is a massive club. You don’t know the challenges you have to face until you are in it. But I wanted this challenge.”

In his first season, Ten Hag secured the EFL Cup, ending United’s six-year trophy drought. Additionally, he guided the team to the FA Cup final and a third-place finish in the Premier League.

The former Ajax boss considers last season’s achievements as “over-achievement.” He attributes this season’s struggles largely to a spate of injuries, forcing him to frequently alter his central defensive pairings and depriving him of a conventional left-back for much of the campaign.
