Erik ten Hag will remain Manchester United manager for a third season.
The club finally came to a conclusion on Ten Hag’s future following an end-of-season review, which has been taking place since the FA Cup final win over Man City.
Several factors came into play when Ineos decided to stand by Ten Hag. They include the trophies he’s won, faith shown in youngsters, plus accepting that injuries were the biggest reason the team suffered such a turbulent 2023/24 campaign.
Most United fans wanted the club to stand by Ten Hag because they didn’t forget how the team overachieved in his first season. Meanwhile, a few on social media called for his head.
Ultimately, the final decision has gone down well with the fanbase, with many taking to X giving their verdicts on the news.

This could be a very clever move by INEOS.
Their alleged favourite, Gareth Southgate, will be out of contract come December, and probably available earlier if England underachieve in the Euro’s. ( I, for one, am fully expecting this). It should be clear by October what kind of season United are having, whereupon the change can be made. I’ll say yet again that I don’t consider Southgate right for United, but he may get the appointment if for no other reason that there are no available alternatives.
Whatever one thinks of INEOS at this early stage, to reappoint the fans’ favourite and already have a Plan B, shows smart thinking.
Good decision eventually made,time for experiments is over,all we needed is continuity not rebuilding time and again and by bringing a new manager that will certainly bring us back to rebuilding conundrum wich we don’t need citing Man United fans endured a lot of disappointed seasons for long enough and we don’t anticipate another, enough is enough,#Ten Hag Continuity❤️
