In a dramatic twist, Erik ten Hag retains his position as Manchester United manager despite a disappointing season that saw an early Champions League exit and a mere eighth-place Premier League finish.

Speculation swirled around his future, with whispers of replacements like Thomas Tuchel, Roberto De Zerbi, and Mauricio Pochettino.

Yet, following an FA Cup victory over Manchester City, co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos sporting director Sir Dave Brailsford have decided to back Ten Hag, even discussing a contract extension.

Is Ten Hag truly the man to restore Manchester United’s glory, or is the club doomed to more mediocrity?
