MU stars shocked when Ten Hag stays

MU's top brass decided not to fire Erik ten Hag, surprising many players.

According to Telegraph, MU players only discovered the truth about Ten Hag through media channels. Most players were on summer vacation or training so they were not informed of the inside information which was kept confidential.

"MU players were shocked because they thought Erik ten Hag would be fired. They reacted strongly and felt very surprised. Everyone really did not know what was happening," wrote the Telegraph.

However, most felt relieved that the head coach position was resolved, no longer in the uncertain situation as before. Now MU can deploy plans to prepare for the new season.

Previously, the "Red Devils" were criticized for prolonging the process of considering Ten Hag's future. But after all, MU's internal belief is that the best solution has been found and all bad speculation has ended.

The way Ten Hag handled the pressure was also impressive. Despite the threat of being sacked, the Dutch coach showed no fear. The former Ajax coach also helped MU overcome the injury crisis and won the FA Cup convincingly.

Currently, MU has begun negotiating a contract extension with Ten Hag. The top brass believes that Ten Hag is the right person to continue leading the Old Trafford team.
