Erik ten Hag reveals ‘confrontational’ talks over Manchester United’s direction
Dutchman opens up on frank discussions with hierarchyTen Hag says heated talks were ‘as it should be at the top’
Erik ten Hag had “confrontational conversations” with Manchester United’s executive last month in regards to the direction of the team, with the Dutchman stating “we should part ways” if an agreement could not be reached.
Ten Hag met with club officials in Ibiza in talks to decide his future as manager after the Sir Jim Ratcliffe-led football department had considered numerous other candidates as potential replacements. The 54-year-old was ultimately retained and signed an extension to his existing contract until June 2026.
