Fabrizio Romano Updates on Ten Hag After Manchester United’s Emergency Meeting
Erik ten Hag is expected to stay on as manager, as the Manchester United board has not reached a consensus regarding his future, according to Fabrizio Romano.
After high expectations from fans for the 2024/25 season, the team’s disappointing performances have left them in 14th place in the Premier League after seven matches. Despite Ten Hag leading the club to a League Cup and an FA Cup during his tenure at Old Trafford, many supporters are calling for a change in management, pointing to inadequate transfer strategies and a lack of exciting football as reasons for their dissatisfaction.
While Ten Hag’s future remains uncertain, recent discussions among the club’s executives may grant him additional time to rectify the situation.
Romano: No Definitive Decision on Ten Hag’s Future Yet
The Dutch coach may remain in charge for a while longer.
In his Daily Briefing, Romano shared insights into Ten Hag’s potential future after recent board meetings. He stated:
“Manchester United held meetings yesterday, but as of now, I have no significant updates on what was discussed or how it will impact the club’s plans moving forward. It’s a situation that is evolving hour by hour, involving multiple parties, including management and Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Currently, while I’m writing this, there has been no definitive decision made, and Erik ten Hag remains the manager.”
This follows a scheduled meeting among Manchester United’s leadership to discuss club operations ahead of the international break in mid-November. While specifics from the meeting were kept confidential, Ten Hag’s future was anticipated to be a key topic.
