Ten Hag reveals how he negotiated with Man Utd board for his current position

Erik ten Hag, who has long been under pressure for Manchester United's poor performances in the 2023/24 season, has finally been given the job and will remain in charge of the Red Devils next season.
British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, who runs the chemical company INEOS, and his board were unable to find a replacement for the Dutchman. As a result, the two sides eventually came to an agreement. But it was not plain sailing for the 53-year-old.
"The communication did fall away, yes. But I just celebrated holidays with my loved ones, and I let things come to me. I have no influence on that anyway. It's not like I panicked," Ten Hag said about his experience in the negotiations for his new contract.
"Why? It's a decision that wasn't in my hands. I just waited for it. At that moment you just think in two scenarios: whether we continue, or not. It's that simple and I'm level-headed enough to look at it that way. I also said to them then: if you think this is not the way, then we just have to break up," he added.
The United manager went on to add: "I am very pleased to have reached agreement with the club to continue working together. However, we must also be clear that there is still lots of hard work ahead to reach the levels expected of Manchester United, which means challenging for English and European titles."
