Erik ten Hag expects to stay at Manchester United, while the club have not made an approach to Thomas Tuchel
Manchester United have not made an approach to Thomas Tuchel with Erik ten Hag on a brief holiday after the club’s executive committee met in London to discuss next steps on Tuesday.
Ten Hag, as is usual during the international break along with players not representing their countries, has taken a few days off to recharge and is expecting to still be in charge at Old Trafford at the end of the international break.
He is under the impression that he retains the backing of the club’s hierarchy and has not been informed any differently.

Carra: Ten Hag has been ‘hung out to dry’
Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher:
“He’ll probably find it tough to get to the next international break as the manager, but if the results turn of course he will.
“At Man Utd it’s not just about results, for a long time it’s been about performances. A lot of the time when they get results, it feels a little bit fortunate in some ways.
“Last season Scott McTominay got so many last-minute goals for them, and you know if performances don’t improve they can’t get sustained results.
“They might get one here or there, that’s why we love the game, unexpected things can happen. But the start of this season hasn’t been too different in terms of performances, you’re seeing the same things we saw last season.
“It’ll be tough for him, but I do have sympathy for him. He’s been hung out to dry on the back of the ownership talking to other managers in the summer.
“No-one in employment would want their bosses publicly speaking to lots of different people within the game, but it’s going to be tough for him to see out the season.”
Man Utd to be ‘measured’ over Ten Hag
The potential of Ruud van Nistelrooy being placed in caretaker charge has been floated, but there have been two major questions around that: is it too early in the season, and to what end? Who would he be a placeholder for?
The powers that be at United do not want to make sentimental decisions and are determined to be measured in their thinking.
