Manchester United admitted courting Thomas Tuchel but decided to continue with Erik ten Hag, believing they already had the best manager. 54-year-old Ten Hag was assured of his position after a challenging season that included an eighth-place finish in the Premier League and a Champions League group stage exit.
Ten Hag revealed that the club management approached him while he was on holiday in Ibiza to express their desire to continue with him as the manager. Despite facing intense scrutiny and speculation about potential replacements, he was reassured and acknowledged the turbulent season he experienced.
Former Tottenham and Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino, Kieran McKenna, and other managers were considered for the Manchester United role, even though technically there was no vacancy as Ten Hag's contract is nearing its final season.
