Manchester United has made a very shocking decision regarding the future of Erik ten Hag, who has been criticized a lot this season.
Manchester United’s less-than-stellar season is set to trigger numerous changes to its squad for the 2024-2025 season. However, the speculation doesn’t end there.
Various sources have been suggesting for months that there will be a change on the bench and the departure of Erik ten Hag at the end of the season.
Now, the situation could take a radical turn. This is precisely what information published by The Athletic indicates.
According to this source, the lack of a consensus candidate among the club’s top brass, combined with the costly expense of dismissing the Dutchman, might lead to Ten Hag staying on to lead the project into the next season.
It comes as a major shock that Ten Hag appears to be allowed to continue as the coach of the English club. He has been heavily criticized this season, with very few things working in his favor.
The fact that INEOS magnate Sir Jim Ratcliffe has taken over a significant portion of the club’s shares has only intensified rumors of a potential firing. However, it now seems that this will not become a reality after all.
Instead, Ten Hag is given another chance to prove his worth. His current contract also covers the next season, after which United could part ways with him without any cost.
United doesn’t have much to play for this season, as they struggle to secure a spot in next season’s Champions League. Their best chance for some success this season is to win against Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
