Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his new United executive leadership team are currently considering their options regarding the future of manager Ten Hag. Following a recent defeat against Palace, Manchester United finds themselves in a challenging position, currently in eighth place in the Premier League and at risk of missing out on a European place next season.
Ratcliffe’s team, which includes Sir Dave Brailsford, interim United CEO Jean-Claude Blanc, and technical director Jason Wilcox, must reach a decision on Ten Hag. The team has not publicly backed Ten Hag or confirmed his position for the next season, causing concern for the 53-year-old manager, who has a year left on his £9 million-a-year contract.
Additionally, there are reports of Ten Hag potentially losing the confidence of some players after publicly criticizing their professionalism in the aftermath of the Palace loss. As a result, the possibility of sacking Ten Hag and appointing an interim manager until the end of the season is being considered, in the hope of providing the players with a fresh start and securing a European place.
Thomas Tuchel has seen his odds of succeeding Ten Hag increase, making him the favorite to take over. Alongside these considerations, the team also offers special deals and promotions to its community members.
