Ten Hag: Manchester United 'want to build with me'

Erik ten Hag, the current manager of Manchester United, has stated that the club’s owners have expressed their desire to continue working with him beyond this season. Despite speculation about his future, Ten Hag says his conversations with the ownership have been centered on his ongoing role. The season has been challenging for United, finishing eighth in the Premier League and at the bottom of their Champions League group. However, they have reached the FA Cup final for the second consecutive year. Ten Hag is already planning for next season and is under contract until 2025. He admits that the speculation affects his work and the players. United has faced numerous injury issues, particularly in defense, impacting their performance. The club recently experienced changes off the pitch with a minority stake acquisition by INEOS. Ten Hag sees this as a turning point for the club, with the future outcome yet to be determined. Today, United will aim to secure their second trophy under Ten Hag’s leadership in the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
