Whats’ Next for Manchester United?
As Man Utd rebuild their roster for the next season, the club bosses thought that sacking Ten Hag would negatively affect the team as they prepare to assess and improve on their performance for the 2024-25 season. While the owners had plenty of options to replace the Dutchman, including Ipswich boss Kieran Mckenna, Thomas Frank and Mauricio Pochettino, their decision to let the ex-Ajax boss keep his job was indeed a sensible one.
