“I am not someone who walks away” — Erik ten Hag

Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag has debunked rumors linking him to a return to Ajax as speculations surrounding his future at Old Trafford lingers.

Following a mixed season at the club, Erik ten Hag has seen himself cut a divisive figure at Manchester United with fans torn between him staying past this season and him facing the sack at the end of the campaign.

The Dutchman dismissed the rumors of his resignation, and affirmed his commitment to the club during a press conference on Friday ahead of their upcoming match against Crystal Palace.

With the Red Devils currently occupying sixth place in the league table and only four fixtures remaining, their hopes of securing a Champions League spot for the next season seem dim. Instead, they are battling to secure a place in the Europa League.

Despite a challenging season under Ten Hag’s leadership, which has fueled speculation about his future at the club, the Dutchman remained resolute.

Speaking to ViaPlay NL, Erik ten Hag emphasized his intention to fulfill his contractual obligations, stating,

“I assume that I will be Manchester United manager next year. I signed a long-term deal consciously and I am not a person who walks away.”
