A few weeks ago, it seemed that Erik ten Hag's days at the helm of Manchester United were numbered.

However, after winning the FA Cup final, the "Red Devils" executives decided not to rush and reassess the whole situation. Although "Man Utd" had talked to several possible candidates, it was ultimately decided to give the Dutchman another chance and a new contract will be signed with him in the near future.

E. ten Hag himself, speaking to the Dutch TV channel NOS, revealed that the "United" executives arrived in Ibiza, where he was vacationing with his family, and asked him to stay at the helm of the team.

"The club executives came to visit me in Ibiza. They unexpectedly showed up at my doorstep and asked me to stay with the team.

"The representatives of Man Utd told me that they had talked to Thomas Tuchel, but ultimately realized that they already have the best coach."

INEOS wanted to properly assess the situation, so it's normal that it took a little time. It's really no secret that they had talks with several possible candidates," E. ten Hag said.
