Football News Update: Erik ten Hag Retains Manchester United Managerial Role Ahead of 2024-25 Season
In a surprising turn of events, Erik ten Hag has been given another chance to lead Manchester United after guiding the club to FA Cup glory last season. The Dutchman, who had been enjoying a vacation in Ibiza, was approached by the club’s new owners, INEOS, while he was away, and was informed that he would be keeping his job and receiving a new contract.

He revealed that United had “disturbed” his holiday with their visit and that the club had also considered other candidates, including Thomas Tuchel, before deciding that Ten Hag was the best man for the job.
