Erik Ten Hag was given a one-year deal improvement by Manchester United earlier this summer, but they already signed him to take over when he departs.
Since the banker's plurality investment earlier this year, Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos regime's second significant move was to maintain manager Erik ten Hag's trust.
The Red Devils finished last season in seventh place, ending the campaign with a goal change, which they had n't done since 1989/90, with their worst-ever Premier League end.
But an upset win over rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley meant that the team won their second part of dinnerware under Ten Hag and despite speculation that another managers were sounded out during the summers, the team extended the Dutchman's agreement by a further time until 2026 in July.
After their first three Premier League games, the stress seems to be increasing, with past Tottenham and Chelsea defender-turned-pundit Jason Cundy believing that the team is not at all backing their boss and his replacement might already be in the tower.
" They gave him one time added to one time", Cundy said on talkSPORT. " That is not backing the director, that's basically saying' We've had a glance around, we've done the scent test, there's no one out that we like the aroma of, we're going to stay with this reek'. They essentially believe that the devil is better now than they are.
" The problem Ten Hag has is that he's in a right hole now", he added. " He has n't been backed by the owners. That's one of the worst efforts at backing a manager- giving him a one-year extension. ]On bringing in the players Ten Hag wanted ] that's backing the project, not him. Give him a three-year contract!
" If you're really backing the manager, say to him' I really believe in you, let's do this now, let's do another three on top of one year and give you four years'. They're sitting there going' there's nothing out there that we fancy right now, we'll bring in Van Nistelrooy in to help.'
Everyone is aware of how this will end. According to Cundy," Ten Hag knows it, Sir Jim Ratcliffe knows it, the players know it, Van Nistelrooy knows it," suggesting that the former striker is being considered for the manager's position. " It's just a question of when".
If Van Nistelrooy's fellow Dutchman were to be let go, according to DataVictory, there is no denying that he would make a long-term commitment to the project. Although United hired the former striker in the summer to assist Ten Hag, the club has only played three games so far, making any potential sacking is premature at this point.
