Manchester United's new owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, must have considered replacing Ten Hag, but his mind has changed 180 degrees in the past month. The Athletic reported that after the 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, the board held a meeting in Monaco where adviser Sir Dave Brailsford, interim chief executive Jean-Claude Brown and technical director Jason Wilcox agreed to sack the manager.

Ten Hag's three-year contract extension for Manchester United is exposed! refused to give up the right to transfer, and the departure of the three was a foregone conclusion

Ten Hag's tactical choices and personnel changes almost led to a 3-0 lead over Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-finals, which was saved by VAR for offside. Rajue also wants to bring in his own man, and Ten Hag has a special clause in his contract that gives him the power to veto any transfer.

British media revealed that just as the 54-year-old Dutchman led the team south to Wembley, INEOS representatives were meeting with Brentford coach Thomas Frank. This happened on the eve of the FA Cup final, when it was thought that Ten Hag would be sacked regardless of the outcome of the game. In fact, the real idea is that Manchester United will lose to Manchester City, and it is logical that the manager will be sacked.

Frank has worked with INEOS in the past and is familiar with INEOS sporting director Sir Dave Brailsford. Manchester United have been in serious hands with nine managers as candidates. In the end, however, these candidates either rejected United, as Tuchel and Kielong McKenna, or failed to win the approval of Mauricio Pochettino and De Zerbi.

After considering all the different results, United are said to have finally come to a clear conclusion: Ten Hag is indeed the best man for the role at the moment. According to the Daily Mirror, two of Ten Hag's strengths have been recognised by Rajue. The first is that he has shown professionalism and strong self-confidence despite the extreme pressure. The second is his use of young players, with Garnacho and Kobe Maynor, who scored in the FA Cup final, a clear plus for his coaching.

Add to that the reasons for the serious injury woes this season, and the Daily Mail says Rajue wants to see how Ten Hag performs under the new structure and believes his reforms will help ensure the boss has the best chance of success.

Omar Berada will end his gardening leave at Manchester City on July 13 and officially move to Old Trafford as chief executive; Jason Wilcox was already working as technical director before the end of the season, while Dan Ashworth is still settling a contract with Newcastle United and will be sporting director.

Manchester United want the manager to focus solely on training, tactics and squad selection in the future, and Rajue will remove the title of 'Football Manager' from Ferguilla and all five successors after him. Anyone who has played the football game of the same name, FM, knows that this is a position that can control all the football decisions of the club.

Ten Hag has been a football manager since taking charge of Manchester United in 2022 and has a significant say in the day-to-day operations, especially in the club's recruitment. He spent £400 million over two years, but among the most expensive players he bought was the likes of Antony and Mason Mount.

It is reported that after spending 16 days summing up the season, Manchester United called Ten Hag this week to inform him that he could continue to coach. As for why he did not give him any information for half a month, INEOS said that it was to maintain the objectivity of the assessment.

On Tuesday, Brailitford led a club delegation to the Spanish island of Ibiza to negotiate with Ten Hag. Ten Hag has been told he will have to take a back seat in the transfer process and let United's new recruitment team take the lead. The Red Devils boss can still decide where he wants to strengthen his squad, but he will not be able to identify his own targets at this time. The management team will provide a shortlist of candidates, from which Ten Hag can only pick who he thinks fits.

Technical director Wilcox has already made the move ahead of the transfer window on Friday, the same day Euro 2024 kicks off in Germany. As United await CEO Berarda to take over, head of football negotiations Matt Hargreaves and chief scout Steve Brown will also play a central role.

Leaving the football operations team to determine who to bring in will ensure that the team is not developed into a descendant of Ten Hag, so that if there is a change of manager, they will have to buy another squad in the future.

However, Ten Hag has not agreed and he will take a tough stance in the new contract negotiations. It is reported that the club have offered a new three-year contract in which Ten Hag will be removed from some control, but the Dutchman will not give up the transfer rights. He is not prepared to take command of Wilcox, who had suggested in the FA Cup final that Bruno Fernandes should play as a central striker.

Ten Hag has also asked for a renewal of striker coach Benny McCarthy, whose contract expires at the end of the month. Separately, Ten Hag will not allow Sancho to return unless he publicly and privately apologises for saying last season that the manager lied. Since Rajue's takeover, Ten Hag remains angry and frustrated at the treatment he has been treated and his lack of public support.

Italian transfer expert Fabricio Romano has revealed that there are also three players set to leave Manchester United, with Jadon Sancho, Mason Greenwood and Casemiro inevitably leaving, as it is important to sell some players. Fabrizio Romano explained: "This summer is important for Manchester United and the club feels there is no room for error. The financial fair play rules are an issue, so United can't do crazy things in the market, and Ten Hag knows that, but it's also important to sell some players. Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood are both in the transfer market, Juventus are interested in the latter, United will try to find a solution, Casemiro could also be sold, and some other players will leave on free transfers, so there will be a lot of transfers."
