Erik ten Hag to continue as Manchester United manager after season review
Club now discussing contract extension with DutchmanDevelopment of Kobbie Mainoo found favour with owners
Erik ten Hag is to remain as Manchester United manager after Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s season review concluded that a record of two trophies in two seasons, his development of Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho, plus the Dutchman’s professionalism and dignity meant he deserved the chance to continue, with him now entering negotiations regarding a new contract.
The decision signals a reverse in the assessment of Ten Hag’s candidacy following indications that Ratcliffe and his advisers were previously minded to remove him. Yet a number of factors persuaded them that Ten Hag should remain.
