Man Utd decides the future of Ten Hag
Manchester United decided on the future of coach Erik Ten Hag despite the incomplete transfer of power at Old Trafford.
British media reported today (April 3), Manchester United will give coach Erik ten Hag a new long-term contract to show confidence, after a great debut season to help change the Old Stadium team. Trafford of the Dutch teacher. Specifically, according to Mirror (England), Erik ten Hag is set to sign a five-year contract with Man Utd this summer in a decision that will not change, regardless of who the new owner of the “red devils” is.
While Sun Sports (England) commented jokingly, “Erik Ten Hag won the £12 million jackpot as he prepares to sign a new five-year contract with Man Utd this summer. Man Utd rewarded Ten Hag after an outstanding first season with a contract that lasts until 2028.
Ten Hag, 53, will receive a £3 million increase in salary from Man Utd, and the f/a/c/t that Man Utd is still uncertain about changing owners does not affect this decision. Ten Hag himself is very interested in extending his contract for another 3 years with Man Utd, after the first contract was quite short, lasting only 3 years.
Last summer, Man Utd signed a shorter-term contract with Ten Hag than previous coaches, because they did not want to make the mistake of the past when the coaches kept coming and going. Yet Ten Hag made a strong impression at Old Trafford after just over half a season…”.
The current contract of the Dutch strategist at Old Trafford lasts until the summer of 2025. But the p/o/s/i/t/i/v/e impact that Ten Hag created at Man Utd has made the “red devils” BLD agree to sign a long contract. due to 2028 with Ten Hag.
It comes as the bidding process to buy United is still ongoing. A group led by Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and another from Britain’s richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe are the two biggest candidates to buy Man Utd. The Glazers have delayed the deadline to complete the sale of Man Utd, making the situation about the new owner at Old Trafford still unclear.
The Glazer family is considering calling outside investors to invest in Man Utd or sell the entire club. The Glazers bought Man Utd 18 years ago and were unpopular with the fans when the “red devils” spent a decade without winning the Premier League.
Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim have yet to meet the Glazer family are £6B valuation, when both recently asked to buy Man Utd for £5B, which is £1B less than the Glazer family’s expectations. At least two of the six Glazer siblings preferred the option of allowing an outside investor to buy shares in the club. The money will be used to redevelop Old Trafford and the Carrington training ground.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag has made a drastic change at Man Utd. Erik Ten Hag inherits a Man Utd in the abyss when he ranked 6th in the Premier League last season, 12 points behind the Top 4. Possesses a “red devil” squad with very low morale and a “t/o/x/i/c atmosphere”. in the dressing room”, Ten Hag still led Man Utd to the first championship after 6 years when winning the 2023 Carabao Cup.
Man Utd has just dropped to 4th place in the Premier League after a 0-2 defeat to direct competitor Newcastle last night. However, the “red devils” still light the door to finish the season in the Top 4 with a place in the Champions League next season. Man Utd also reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup and the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Although Manchester United can win the treble this season and qualify for the Champions League, next season, the Old Trafford team still has a lot of work to do this season.
Therefore, there is no possibility that the “red devils” will announce a contract extension with Erik Ten Hag from now until the end of the season. Instead, Sun Sports (UK) confirmed, Man Utd and Ten Hag will complete a contract extension agreement in the summer.
