Exclusive: Decision made on ten Hag as Sir Jim Ratcliffe revolution begins at Man United



Despite reaching the FA Cup final, Erik ten Hag’s future seems to be decided now.

In fact, a large number of board members – with Sir Jim Ratcliffe above all – want to cut ties with the past, according to CaughtOffside sources with knowledge of the situation.

INEOS are looking for a decisive change of direction both from a sporting point of view, with a different style of play, and behaviourally, with greater serenity in the squad.

Ten Hag set to be sacked by Man United

For this reason, in all likelihood, ten Hag will be sacked at the end of the season.

A decision that could change the fate of many players, including Jadon Sancho, who could return  from his loan at Borussia Dortmund and decide to stay at United after the departure of the Dutch manager.

Many names are under evaluation as possible replacements for the former Ajax coach too.

Man United manager Erik ten HagA new round of contacts are expected with Thiago Motta, though he is also considering staying another year at Bologna in case of qualification for the Champions League.

His president, Joey Saputo, has promised to keep the squad competitive for the top European competition.

Furthermore, Thomas Tuchel is emerging as a potential hire as well as the likes of Roberto De Zerbi.



The former Chelsea coach would like to return to England, and Man Utd would be the ideal team to continue his career after his experience at Bayern, which is now coming to an end.

Certainly, the choice of coach will also influence the market dynamics, with Man United ready for a mini revolution, but without excessive upheavals.
