Ten Hag likely to stay at Man United with INEOS 'unimpressed by alternatives' (reliability: 5 stars)

Erik ten Hag is likely to remain at Manchester United beyond the 2023/24 season, according to The Athletic.

While INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are open to replacing the manager, they have been 'unimpressed by alternatives' to the Dutchman.

The new minority stake owners are also reluctant to pay the fee required to sack the 54-year-old given the complicated Financial Fair Play situation at the club.

In the end, INEOS and Ratcliffe believe that they can make Ten Hag's job easier next season by pin-pointing and addressing many behind-the-scenes issues currently plaguing Man United.
