After a long season review, INEOS decided to keep the Dutch manager, offering him a new contract. In a discussion with Bloomberg, Ratcliffe explained that ten Hag was a good coach and not the club’s biggest problem. He said, “the coach isn’t the central issue at Manchester United. It’s a club sport, it needs to be competitive. It needs a degree of intensity, but with a supportive side to it because you’re dealing with players who are relatively young.
