I like Erik. I think he\u2019s a very good coach, but ultimately, it\u2019s not my decision. It\u2019s up to the club management that runs Manchester United to decide how to manage the team in the best way. That team running Manchester United was formed in June or July. They weren\u2019t there in January, February, March, or April. CEO Omar Berrada and Director of Football Dan Ashworth joined in July. You can practically count the weeks they\u2019ve been here; it hasn\u2019t been long, so they need time to think things through and make careful decisions.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Speculation about Ten Hag\u2019s future has swirled for most of last season, which United finished eighth.
