David Ornstein reveals Erik ten Hag decision as INEOS complete Man Utd season review

Manchester United have reached a final decision on the future of Erik ten Hag after completing their end-of-season review.

David Ornstein reports Ten Hag will stay as Man United manager and will enter negotiations about extending his contract.

The Dutchman’s current deal with the Red Devils expires next summer, with an option to extend by another year.

There were major concerns over Ten Hag’s United future even after the FA Cup triumph over Manchester City.

The club slumped to an unprecedented eighth-place finish in the Premier League, marking a nadir in their storied history in the competition.

United were also knocked out in the group stage of the Champions League.

Without their FA Cup victory, the club would have missed out on European football next season.

United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS sporting director Sir Dave Brailsford led the review process.

The club hierarchy considered several alternatives, including Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Gareth Southgate and Kieran McKenna.

However, they have finally ended the speculation by backing Ten Hag.

This is great news for United supporters as the club can finally focus all their attention on the summer transfer window.

It would not have been easy to lure players without letting them know who would be the head coach of the side.

The next step for INEOS is to extend Ten Hag’s deal and give him confidence. The former Ajax manager also has a big task to complete.

United were below par last season, and Ten Hag must improve his team’s performances next term.
