British media "BBC" reported on the 12th (Korea Standard Time) that "Ten Haq has passed the screening of the 2023-24 season by Manchester United's board of directors and will maintain the baton," adding, "Manchester United will begin negotiations with Ten Haq to extend the contract."

As a result, Ten Hag, who signed a two-year contract with Manchester United in April 2022, will continue to lead the team after overcoming rumors of a replacement that continued at the end of the season.

Ten Hag has mixed feelings in his 2023-24 season report card. Manchester United ranked eighth with 18 wins, six draws and 14 losses in the regular season, with 60 points (goal loss -1). It is the first time that Manchester United has fallen to eighth place since the launch of the Premier League.

In addition, it was the first time in this season that the number of goals scored (58) was higher than the number of goals (57). Rumors of Ten Hag's replacement were strengthened as he was eliminated from the lowest ranking (1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses) in the UEFA Champions League group league.

However, Ten Hag's fate changed at the final of the FA Cup. Manchester United won the title 2-1 at the final match against Manchester City on April 25, securing its first win in eight years and a berth to the UEFA Europa League next season. With the FA Cup title, Ten Hag has lifted two trophies following his last season's League Cup title.

Under new owner Jim Ratcliffe, Manchester United sought to overhaul their team. The most frequently mentioned was Thomas Tuchel, who parted ways with Bayern Munich. However, he has decided not to take over as Manchester United manager.
BBC reported that Tuchel has been excluded as Manchester United manager. Ratcliffe's owner flew to France and set up a negotiation table with Tuchel himself, but the negotiations broke down.

The transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also reported the same news. "Tuchel will not be assigned to Manchester United. After meeting with Manchester United in recent weeks, we have decided not to continue our dialogue," Romano said. "I did not want to be in charge of any team this summer, and I want a full rest."

On top of that, Pochettino emerged as a candidate for the next coach. He had been connected to Manchester United even before Ten Hag was appointed in 2022. However, Pochettino's name was excluded from the appointment of the coach.

British media "Mirror" reported, "It is unlikely that Pochettino will replace Ten Hag as Manchester United manager this summer."

"Pochettino left Chelsea after the end of the season. Since then, he has been linked to Manchester United," he said. "Thomas Frank, Gareth Southgate and Roberto De Gerbi have been linked to Manchester United's managerial position."

British media reported that Ten Hag would be dismissed regardless of whether he won the FA Cup, but Manchester United decided to retain his post by choosing a "constructive dialogue" with Ten Hag shortly after winning the FA Cup.

There was a possibility that he would accompany him. "I'm planning for next season. If he leaves Manchester United, another team can win the cup," Ten Hag said after winning the FA Cup. Regarding spending 100 million euros on Antony and 70 million pounds on Mason Mount last summer, he blamed the club's board members for the high transfer fee, saying it was not his responsibility.[토토사이트 순위](https://www.totositenet.com/)

British media outlet "Express" said, "Some of Manchester United's leaders want Ten Hag to stay."

The British media "Independent" also said, "Famous figures in the Old Trafford leadership group still support manager Ten Haq, and the FA Cup victory is empowering the claim that Ten Haq is the right person to lead the team in the future." They believe that the decision to fire manager Ten Haq, who has lifted the second England domestic trophy in two years after taking the job at Manchester United, will not be popular among fans.

"Ineos, the decision maker, is not divided 50-50, but the fact that he has considerable support makes the problem more complicated," "Express" explained.

In the end, Manchester United did not choose a change. Under Ten Hag, he has decided to start the next season. Now, organizing the squad has become an important task in the transfer market.
