JAKARTA - Erik ten Hag has been hit by the issue of dismissal before the 2023/2024 season is over. His togetherness at Manchester United is expected to be completed by the end of the season.

A number of names have been echoed as a replacement for Ten Hag at Old Trafford. The owner of the new minority of the Red Devils, Sir Jim Radcliffe, has even contacted a number of potential managers.

However, the fact is that the Dutch coach is still standing. Radcliffe gave the opportunity for a contract extension.

Later, Ratcliffe revealed the reason for keeping Ten Hag with a strange analogy. Sympathy is the basis.

"We have some very good people and some new faces. You can't close your eyes, you have to face the reality," the 71-year-old man said in The Times.

"It takes a new start. So, that's what we've done. Erik is a good person and has done his best, but is doing too much."

"He tried to sort out the squad and repair the leak at the same time," said Radcliffe again.

Meanwhile, on the one hand, Ratcliffe doesn't just keep Ten Hag. He also put pressure on the manager.

While Ten Hag has survived, he was caught several times looking for a new manager candidate if he was in the middle of the road he was angry with the former Ajax manager.

Pressure does need to be launched by Ratcliffe. You see, he has the burden of bringing the club back to its glory.

Despite plans to rebuild the squad and first-team facilities, including the new stadium, the billionaire also has to do a 'total cleaning'.

This caused many behind-the-scenes staff to leave the club. However, that situation did not apply to Ten Hag, who still had the opportunity.

Ratcliffe's trust in Ten Hag could not be separated from the FA Cup trophy at the end of last season. Apparently, the manager was able to get the title after receiving pressure from management.
