Does Manchester United's decision to retain Ten Hag have anything to do with the victory achieved in the FA Cup? This success also means that Manchester United will play in the Europa League next season. If judged from achievements in the Premier League, Ten Hag has failed to make Manchester United a club that is ready to compete in the top four, so there is no reason for Manchester United to continue working with Ten Hag.
Whether or not Ten Hag will coach Manchester United next season is appropriate, only the club's board of directors will assess it, but the news currently spreading is that Ten Hag is still trusted to lead Manchester United next season. Many parties from outside the club began to regret this decision because there were doubts about his ability to take Manchester United in a better direction, these doubts arose after Manchester United failed to compete in an elite position this season.
One of them, of course, is that Erik Ten Hag managed to bring one of the trophies for Manchester United which gave him the full opportunity to continue coaching Manchester United. I think Erik Ten Hag performance has of course declined quite a bit because he failed to bring Manchester United through to the Champions League.
However, various speculations circulating after last season ended have been answered, with Manchester United management still giving Erik Ten Hag the opportunity for next season. I think we will see a better performance from Erik Ten Hag next season where he must be able to bring in quality players to cover the weaknesses in the team.
I concur that Erik Ten Hag managed to win silverware for Manchester United, a significant feather in his cap and undoubtedly cause for upper management to throw their weight behind him unequivocally. Despite his performance taking a nosedive on account of his inability to steer the team into Champions League qualification, the vote of confidence shown towards him can be seen as a decision steeped in reason. One not devoid of sense. For he has, after all, shown his mettle in the past. The decision is tantamount to nurturing talent already proven, rather than taking shots in the dark.
Ten Hag, with the backing of management, has an open door to work on what is ailing the team. It takes both quality signings and a tactical tweak: these two could be the magic wand that sees Manchester United improve their performance next season. I'm hopeful about positive changes under his leadership, but let's not be blind optimists. A great focus must be placed to making the right changes because Ten Hag would need to conduct a detailed assessment of the team's play, seeking players who can truly mask these weaknesses.
