The Dutchman arrived in 2022 and guided United to EFL Cup glory and a top-four finish in his debut season. His second campaign was far from as successful, albeit it finished on a high with victory in the FA Cup final against Manchester City. After a poor start to the 2024-25 campaign ultimately cost him his job in October, following a 2-1 loss to West Ham that left United 14th in the Premier League.
“We’ve had a lot of highs but like I always say, there is room for improvement.” Good is not enough. You can do better.”
Ten Hag has been linked to clubs including Borussia Dortmund and Feyenoord, as well as clubs in Major League Soccer, since leaving United but he has ruled out taking a new position before the summer.
“I have already decided not to take any job until the 1st of July, so until the new season starts,” he confirmed.
The 55-year-old will now take time to evaluate his options before potentially returning to management.
