According to the well-known publication house – ‘Football365‘, and backed by ESPN Journalist Ogden, the Red Devils could turn up with a decision on ten Hag in this week (tentatively till June 2, Sunday). Regarding United’s decision on whether to keep Erik ten Hag or not, Odgen reportedly quoted – “probably be resolved at some point this week”.
Giving out his thoughts on one of the recent podcasts that he featured on, Ogden stated – “Yeah, Erik ten Hag has known, probably since February, that his position was on the line”. The ESPN Journalist also pointed out that whatever has been churned up in the media regarding United being linked with other managerial personnel, the owners haven’t really discarded them.

Managers like – Mauricio Pochettino, Roberto De Zerbi, Thomas Frank, Thomas Tuchel, and Gareth Southgate have been enlisted as the ones eyed by the English club as of now.
