Manchester United is set to tie manager Erik ten Hag to a new deal as they seek to end speculations surrounding his future at the club.
The decision comes after an end of season review by the club’s board for the 2023-24 campaign, which finished on a high with a shock FA Cup final win over favourites Manchester City.
Ten Hag whose contract runs until the end of next season, with the club having the option of extending it a further 12 months had been linked with a move away from the club with a chunk of candidates having been rumoured to be eyeing his job.
Former Ajax boss Ten Hag had come under increasing pressure after 20-times English champions United suffered their worst start to a season since 1962-63 with eight defeats in their first 15 matches in all competitions.
They ended up eighth after 14 defeats in their 38 league games and bowed out of the Champions League in the group phase.
In Ten Hag’s two seasons in charge, United have played in three Wembley finals and lifted two trophies, having also won last season’s League Cup.
