The Manchester United owners are keen on retaining manager Erik ten Hag at the Premier League club.
According to The Athletic’s report on Friday, a day after the Red Devils’ 4-3 loss to Chelsea, Ten Hag is also eager to remain at Old Trafford.
Despite United being ahead 3-2 in the 97th minute, Cole Palmer’s late double dealt a dramatic blow to their hopes, jeopardizing their chances of securing a Champions League spot for next season, as they currently sit in sixth place with a -1 goal difference.

Nevertheless, it is understood that INEOS, the club’s ownership, is in favor of retaining Ten Hag, a sentiment reciprocated by the manager himself.
Recent discussions between Ten Hag, Sir Dave Brailsford, and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have reportedly fostered a positive atmosphere of collaboration.
While names such as Gareth Southgate, Graham Potter, and Roberto de Zerbi have been linked with the United managerial position in recent times, the focus appears to be on retaining Ten Hag.
