A surprising decision
The continuity of Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United has been surprising and unexpected news. Although it was thought he would be sacked after failing to qualify for the next edition of the Champions League for the second time in a row, the board have decided to give him another vote of confidence. This means Ten Hag will not be sacked and is indeed expected to sign a new contract in the coming weeks.
The search for a substitute
Manchester United’s management has tried to find a guaranteed replacement for the Dutch coach, but has been unsuccessful. They have considered several names such as Xavi Hernández, Edin Terzic, Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino or Antonio Conte, but none of them have been available. This has led to the decision to keep Ten Hag as head coach.
Consequences for the workforce
This decision will have consequences for some key pieces of the Manchester United squad. Players such as Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Christan Eriksen and Jadon Sancho have already decided to leave the club due to the breakdown in the relationship with Ten Hag. These players will look for new teams where they can continue their careers.
The strained relationship with Jadon Sancho
The relationship between Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho is tense and fractured. After a heated discussion before the start of the season, Sancho was relegated to ostracism and did not play a single match for the first team. This led to his departure to Borussia Dortmund, where he has emerged as a world star. Now, Sancho has been offered to several major teams such as Juventus, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain and Barça.
Barça’s interest in Jadon Sancho
Joan Laporta, president of FC Barcelona, ​​is interested in signing Jadon Sancho. Laporta believes that Sancho would be a very interesting addition to strengthen Barça’s attack. In addition, it is believed that his file would not be excessively high. However, the final decision will rest with coach Hans-Dieter Flick.
