Ten Hag To Remain Man Utd Manager After Season Review
Manchester United has confirmed that Erik Ten Hag will remain as manager following a post-season review by the club’s board.
Osun Defender gathered that the club is also talking to Ten Hag about extending his contract, which is about to enter its final season.
A comprehensive review was instigated by the club immediately after the FA Cup final.
Ten Hag went into the game against Manchester City at Wembley amid a backdrop of reports claiming he was going to be sacked no matter the outcome.

Instead, United’s deserved 2-1 victory allowed the club hierarchy to approach the review in a more positive light.
According to the BBC, “constructive conversations” with Ten Hag have taken place around the outcome of the review.
All eventualities were considered and the clear preference was for the 54-year-old Dutchman to remain in charge.
United finished eighth last season, their lowest position in the Premier League era, although they suffered the most injuries with 45 separate cases recorded, a fact Ten Hag often cited for some below-par displays.
The Dutchman took charge at Old Trafford in summer 2022 and is United’s fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013, following David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
He arrived at Old Trafford following a successful four-and-a-half-year spell at Ajax that saw him win three Eredivisie titles and two Dutch Cups.
In his debut season, he led the club to third place in the Premier League, along with the EFL Cup and FA Cup finals.
He won his first trophy as United boss in February 2023 when the Red Devils beat Newcastle to lift the EFL Cup but were beaten by Manchester City in the FA Cup final three months later.
The 2023-24 season proved more difficult, including an early exit from the Champions League after finishing bottom of their group.
United started poorly with six defeats in their opening 10 games, including to Galatasaray and Bayern Munich in the Champions League. They also finished weakly – despite the FA Cup final triumph, they only won five of their final 12 matches in all competitions.
