The future of Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford looks uncertain, with the former Ajax boss struggling to build on his promising first season with Manchester United. It is reported that Sir Jim Radcliffe, the club’s principal owner, has not publicly given his backing to Ten Hag and has seemingly decided on his replacement.

In a statement from 2022, Ten Hag expressed his reservations about a potential move to Manchester United, citing language barriers and the importance of communication in his coaching approach. He also emphasized the need to be in the right environment to succeed, highlighting his focus on winning.

When asked about his interest in a move to England, Ten Hag mentioned the limited opportunities for coaches compared to players and reiterated his commitment to being at a club with the potential for success. He also asserted his determination to win, stating that he couldn’t go just anywhere.

Despite the speculation, Ten Hag recently noted that he is solely concentrating on the ongoing process and has had discussions with Sir Jim Radcliffe and others within the club’s leadership group. He expressed his belief in their support for him.
