Erik ten Hag has survived a thorough end-of-season review led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS sporting director Sir Dave Brailsford. Despite Manchester United’s disappointing Premier League finish and early Champions League exit, Ten Hag will continue as manager, thanks to FA Cup success and support from the club’s hierarchy.
The review process included exploring options like Thomas Tuchel, Roberto De Zerbi, and Mauricio Pochettino. Though Ten Hag’s contract was extended for a year, there will be changes to the coaching staff.
Newly appointed sporting directors Dan Ashworth and Berrada have expressed full backing for Ten Hag, emphasizing their confidence in his ability to lead the team with the new support structure in place.
