Ten Hag Retained as Manchester United Manager by INEOS
Erik ten Hag will remain as the manager of Manchester United following an end-of-season review conducted by the club’s new co-owners, INEOS, led by Sir Dave Brailsford. The decision to keep Ten Hag was made after a review of the team’s performance and future prospects.
Ten Hag, who joined Manchester United in 2022, has had a mixed tenure with the club. In his first season, he led the team to a third-place finish in the Premier League and won the EFL Cup. However, the 2023-24 season was more challenging, with the team finishing eighth in the league. Despite this, Ten Hag managed to guide the team to an FA Cup victory over Manchester City, which seems to have played a significant role in the decision to retain him.
INEOS, the new co-owners of Manchester United, have expressed their belief that Ten Hag is the right person to lead the club’s project and that he has the support of the players. The decision to keep Ten Hag comes after a period of uncertainty and speculation about his future at the club.
The club is now expected to open negotiations with Ten Hag over a new contract. This development suggests that INEOS is committed to building a long-term project with Ten Hag at the helm, despite the challenges faced during the previous season.
The decision to retain Ten Hag as manager is a significant one for Manchester United, as it provides stability and continuity at a time when the club is undergoing significant changes under the new ownership. It remains to be seen how Ten Hag will navigate the upcoming season and whether he can lead the team to greater success in the future.
