Everything that is happening around Erik Ten Hag in Manchester United falls into the realm of the comical, almost unbelievable.For months, it was speculated that his days at the Theater of Dreams were numbered, the English media widely announced his departure after the FA Cup final, but then he beat Manchester City and took the trophy, everything turned upside down and people started talking about him staying. There was even mention of a contract extension.The leaders of United took the first step and began to implement this idea by deciding to come to Ten Hag to Ibiza, where he is resting after a long season, in order to talk about the continuation of cooperation. Then, allegedly, they informed him that they had also talked to other candidates like Thomas Tuchel, but that the choice fell on him anyway.##NAJAVA_MECA_8173679##The British Sun claim that the Dutchman was even a bit angry about United people coming to his house to talk to him about other managers, thus incurring the wrath of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his entourage. Namely, the well-known businessman, as the owner of 27.7 percent of Manchester United, is responsible for the work of the sports sector and the transfer policy, and what he did not like at all was that Ten Hag spoke publicly about the details of the meeting. And on Dutch television!Manchester United wanted Ten Hag to stay, but Ratcliffe and his associates took it for granted that the meeting was private and that the details should not be made public, which Ten Hag did.Now, it is not known what will happen next. Ten Hag is expected to get a new contract but also a serious ‘slap on the wrist’ for what he did.🚨🚨🗣️ Sir Jim Ratcliffe on why he kept Erik ten Hag. #MUFC pic.twitter.com/ftB1bJJLkY— mufcmpb (@mufcMPB) June 21, 2024 Ratcliffe is trying to raise Manchester United and gather a team of quality workers around him. His right-hand man is Sir David Brailsford, while Jason Wilcox is the technical director. The arrivals of Dan Ashworth and Omar Berada in the positions of sporting and general director are expected, but first they need to leave their home clubs – Newcastle and Manchester City.Once that happens, United will begin building their squad for next season. Probably with Ten Hag on the bench.
