That disappointment was offset by winning the FA Cup in the final game of the 2023/24 season over Man City, to ensure Europa League qualification. However, it wasn’t enough to prevent co-owners Ineos launching a review into manager Erik ten Hag.
The Dutchman was expected to lose his job, but after assessing the situation and speaking to several other managers – including Thomas Tuchel – Ineos decided to keep faith with Ten Hag for the new campaign.
And now, the 54-year-old looks set to land a new contract. Erik ten Hag is closing in on a new contract that will keep him at Manchester United until 2027.
The Mirror has reported that Ten Hag has secured a two-year contract extension worth almost £27m, despite being on the brink of the sack just a couple of weeks ago. The former Ajax chief has apparently agreed the new deal in principle following talks with club bosses.
United and Ten Hag’s representatives are understood to be finalising the terms of the new deal, which should be confirmed this week, according to the Mirror. It will include clauses in it relating to both his and the team’s performance.
Part of the new deal will include a shake-up of United’s coaching staff, with former striker Ruud van Nistelrooy set to return to the club as part of Ten Hag’s backroom team.
