The former Ajax head coach is facing an increasingly uncertain future in the Old Trafford hotseat, having witnessed his Red Devils squad regress significantly since 2022-23.

The 54-year-old should not be given the boot before the end of the season, but minority investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe will undertake a thorough review of Ten Hag's performance and the club's managerial structure this summer, when the Dutchman's job will almost certainly be under threat.
