Erik ten Hag and INEOS did not agree on a new contract this summer.
Instead, they triggered an extension on his current contract which keeps Ten Hag at Manchester United until 2026.
Amid speculation over his future, new CEO Omar Berrada expressed his support for the Dutchman.
“Erik has our full backing and we’ve worked very closely together in this transfer window”, he said, earlier this month.
“Do we still believe in Erik? Absolutely. We think Erik is the right coach for us and we’re fully backing him.”

Ten Hag has won two trophies in two seasons at United and recognises the pressure of being United’s manager.
After an up-and-down start to the season, questions regarding his ability to continue in his role have been raised again.
He addressed these concerns, speaking to Sky Sports before United’s game against Crystal Palace.
“When we are losing, there is pressure, there is noise so I don’t have to read these articles what’s coming up because I know it’s there,” said Ten Hag.
“I feel the backing. I feel we are in this together”, he insisted.

Ten Hag has repeatedly noted that trophies are paramount when judging a manager’s progress.
For him, they are a prerequisite for being a successful manager at United and he further emphasised this yesterday.
“We will go again for silverware and we will go again to construct a good team.”
“We hope to do it as in the first season, but if we have say setbacks, we’ll deal with it and then still we have to win.”
Ten Hag is looking to become the first United manager to win trophies in three consecutive seasons since Sir Alex Ferguson between 2006/07 and 2008/09.
