Erik ten Hag convinced he is the best man for Manchester United job

Erik ten Hag is convinced he is the best man for the Manchester United job, while everyone waits on the club to decide whether he will remain manager next season.

Manchester United are conducting a season review amid the conclusion of the 2023/24 campaign. Although Ten Hag finished has two trophies in as many years, the Reds failed to perform in the Premier League and crashed out of the Champions League in the group stages.

Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol has provided an update on Ten Hag and he believes the Dutchman will only be replaced as United manager if there is a better option out there. It is understood that the final decision is being made in the end-of-season review which is being carried out now.

It seems Ten Hag, just like the rest of us, is waiting for the outcome.

Ten Hag is right to believe he is the best man for the job because none of the potential managerial candidates are better coaches than him. They include Kieran McKenna, Thomas Tuchel, Gareth Southgate, Mauricio Pochettino and Thomas Frank.

I firmly believe that it would be a mistake for United to sack Ten Hag this summer and I hope Ineos don’t pull that trigger. He deserves a third season in charge – and, our latest poll suggests you agree.
