Erik ten Hag has given fans some behind-the-scenes insights, confirming that Manchester United did indeed speak with Thomas Tuchel and other candidates before reaffirming their trust in him.
“Yes, Manchester United told me they spoke with Thomas Tuchel and several other candidates. They eventually decided they already had the best manager, and that was that,” ten Hag shared with NOS Studio.
The Dutch manager even revealed how United’s top brass interrupted his holiday in Ibiza to break the news. “They flew out to Ibiza to tell me I was staying. They disturbed my holiday; yes, they suddenly stood at my doorstep!” he said, laughing.
Ten Hag also mentioned the influence of INEOS, noting, “INEOS is new to football, so it’s normal for them to take their time and reflect on the season, especially since this is allowed in England.”
He wrapped up by confirming ongoing negotiations with the club. “I’m in talks with United over a new deal. We still have to negotiate to reach an agreement,” he concluded.
