After abysmal visit to Stamford Bridge, Ten Hag finally makes Manchester United decision

After an abysmal visit to the Stamford Bridge on Thursday evening, Erik Ten Hag has finally made his Manchester United decision.

A defiant ten Hag has insisted he has “no doubts” he will still be Manchester United’s manager next season. This comes as the Red Devils prepare to host Liverpool on Sunday.

The Dutchman had said a week ago that he “does not care” about speculation linking United with Gareth Southgate. Ten Hag had now reiterated in the wake of Thursday’s shattering defeat at Chelsea that he still expects to remain at Old Trafford next season.

“I don’t have any doubts,” Ten Hag told Sky Sports. “I’m just focusing on my job, focusing on this process, in this project. I really love to be here, I’m enjoying it. For me it’s a challenge.”

Sky Sports News reported at the end of March that United have not made a definitive decision over Ten Hag’s future. The report further claimed that the Red Devils are planning for next season with him. i

United have however since then, suffered agonising setbacks in the Premier League. They have conceded added-on time goals at both Brentford and Chelsea in the space of a week. Sadly, they have fallen further away from the qualifying spots for the Champions League.

Ahead of the Super Sunday clash with Premier League leaders Liverpool, live on Sky Sports, United are sixth, nine points behind fifth-placed Tottenham. Their goal difference for the season is minus one.

But, despite the setbacks, Ten Hag is adamant United, who were eliminated from the Champions League at the group stage, are progressing.

“It will not go always in the right way, it’s not going always the results in the way we wanted but I’m sure we’re in the right direction and we will get where we want to be,” he said.
