On Tuesday night, it was announced that Erik ten Hag will stay at Old Trafford following Ineos’ performance review. This decision means he will continue as the head coach for the 2024-25 season, and a new contract is also being discussed. However, his role will involve less influence in transfers, with the club taking on a more central role in player dealings.

This change has drawn attention from supporters, with some feeling it’s the minimum they deserve. The new contract will specify Ten Hag’s position as head coach instead of manager, and significantly reduce his involvement in player transfers. Whether Ten Hag agrees with these terms remains to be seen, but the restructuring at United means that recruitment will now be overseen by the club’s management, while the head coach focuses on the team.
