Although Tenhag is the second generation of the rich, Manchester United still gave him a high salary. The "3+1 year" contract with the Red Devils will ensure that the Ajax manager receives the highest salary of the Dutch manager in the Premier League.
Former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal was paid more than £7 million a year when he was in charge of Manchester United, which means that after Tenhag took charge of Manchester United, his annual income may be 8 million to 10 million pounds, similar to that of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when he was in charge. In any case, this is a significant increase, at least doubled, from Tenhag's £4 million annual salary at Ajax.
But for Tenhag, the annual salary is not as important as the transfer budget, and the existing Manchester United squad must be significantly adjusted. However, since the team may not be able to reach the top four of the Premier League this season and miss out on next season's Champions League places, the club may not give him too much transfer funds.
United have five players, pogba, Jesse Lingard, Mata and Cavani, whose contracts expire and will leave, as well as other players such as Martial and Dean Henderson who also want to transfer. During the interview with Manchester United, Tenhag proposed his own reinforcement plan, which the British Daily Mail said included Tottenham centre-forward Harry Kane, Benfica striker Darwin Nunez, West Ham defender Deklan Rice, Leeds United striker Calvin Phillips, Wolves' Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves, Brighton's Bisuma, Monaco's Joan Ameni, Lazio's Milinkovic, Chelsea centre-back Rudiger and Ajax's Julian Timberbel.
However, some agents have revealed to the Daily Mail that if United do not qualify for the Champions League, the club will only provide a net transfer fee of £20 million, and Tenghag can only raise funds by selling existing players if he wants to buy more players. Henderson, Eric Bai, Phil Jones, Martial and others can all be sold for money.
However, some British media said that regardless of whether they participate in the Champions League or not, Manchester United will give Teng haag sufficient transfer fees to buy people. Who says it is true, and fans can only wait for further development in the future. After Verjue's retirement, United's summer window signing budget is usually around £150 million, but there are exceptions. Moyes spent less than £30 million on Fellaini when he was in charge, and Mourinho only £63m in the summer before he left school.
The Manchester Evening News revealed that Manchester United club did not consult the players in the locker room on the selection of the new coach, because the Red Devils seemed to prefer Pochettino, which may cause some players in the team to be dissatisfied.
A player who used to play under Tenhag reminded United that the 52-year-old Dutch coach is a perfectionist, he will pay attention to the height of the turf of the stadium, not more than 2 mm, and the level of the pitch must be maintained in a straight line!
Sjøld O'Fgull, who played for Tenhag at the Dutch Forward Eagles, told Sky Sports: "The coach asked the drinks to be placed in a straight line. In his eyes, everything must be perfect. People need time to adapt. We have a staff member who takes care of the stadium. Every day, Eric would go to him and tell him that the length of the grass must be kept at about two millimeters."
Whether such high demands can be responded to by Manchester United stars, whether it will trigger a boycott in the dressing room, and whether the Manchester United boss and the board of directors have full support, are all challenges after Tenhag's coaching.
