Erik ten Hag led Manchester United to a second trophy in two seasons with the FA Cup this season, but the Dutchman’s future has been hanging in the balance for weeks. United’s performances in the Premier League and Europe were poor and so a change of manager was considered.
After winning the cup final against Manchester City, Ten Hag had to wait a while to be sure of his future. Meanwhile, United have decided to stick with him and a contract extension could be imminent.
Ten Hag confirms: United spoke with Tuchel
Ten Hag also confirmed this himself on Sunday in an interview with number. He also spoke frankly about the doubts that had existed for a long time. For example, he confirmed rumors that United had spoken to Thomas Tuchel, who left Bayern Munich.
“They told me that too,” Tin Hag was surprised. “It’s not a secret. Everyone heard that they spoke with several candidates. In the Netherlands, that was not done. In the end they came to the conclusion that they already had the best coach.”
Contract extension is in preparation
Now we just have to wait until the contract extension is ratified. “We will continue together and sit down to extend the contract. We still have to reach an agreement,” says Ten Hag.
Next season, the Dutchman will have to do better than eighth place in the Premier League this season. United also disappointed in the Champions League after being eliminated in the group stage. With INEOS, there is a new sporting leadership at Old Trafford so some things could happen during the summer Mercato.
