On the other hand, Erik ten Hag’s future at Manchester United is still unclear. Mirror said that Ten Hag would only decide his future when he was told the value of the player spending budget for next summer.
In the January transfer window, MU did not attract any new players at all. In fact, Ten Hag has clearly emphasized that he wants a new striker in his team.
If next summer he is not given the opportunity to attract a top striker, Ten Hag may choose to leave MU and accept another club’s proposal.
