According to a new report, Manchester United has made a definitive decision regarding Erik ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford.
Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe acquired a 27.7% stake in Manchester United in early 2024, Erik ten Hag’s position at the club has been uncertain. The team’s inconsistent form and disappointing results throughout the season raised doubts about Ten Hag’s ability to lead United into a new era under INEOS’ ownership. Fans and analysts questioned whether he could meet the high expectations associated with the club’s ambitious vision.
Despite the growing skepticism, Ten Hag managed to lead the team to an FA Cup victory at the season’s end, offering a glimmer of hope and suggesting that future success might still be possible under his leadership.
“Erik ten Hag will stay as Manchester United manager after the club’s end-of-season review culminated in a decision to keep the Dutchman — and he has agreed to remain at Old Trafford,” the article read. “Following a period of major uncertainty over Ten Hag’s future, United held talks with the 54-year-old on Tuesday, and both parties preferred for his tenure to continue.”
The FA Cup win has been interpreted by some as an indication that, with the right support and stability, Ten Hag could still guide Manchester United towards their goals in this new chapter under Ratcliffe’s partial ownership.
A new report from The Athletic confirmed that the final decision has been made to retain Ten Hag as the manager. Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford led the decision to move forward with Ten Hag for now. His contract, which expires in June 2025, is likely to be discussed for an extension.
