Erik ten Hag to quit Man Utd?! Why Red Devils boss is prepared to walk away from Old Trafford amid reports Sir Jim Ratcliffe considers sacking him

According to The Mirror, Ten Hag is willing to leave United without a vote of confidence from the INEOS head, citing an increasingly unclear future and a below-par campaign by United's standards. The Dutchman feels he and Ratcliffe are on the same page. However, the 71-year-old has yet to publicly support Ten Hag since his confirmation as co-owner when his 27.7% ownership was validated by the Premier League in February.

Ten Hag still has one year left on his present deal, but he is willing to go without guarantees of a long-term future with the club. Under the previous administration, Ten Hag had complete control over recruitment, but his future position may be limited by CEO Omar Berrada, technical director Jason Wilcox and the anticipated entrance of Dan Ashworth to the scene from Newcastle.

It has been reported that Ten Hag could make a return to his former club Ajax, as they have shown an interest in signing the 54-year-old manager who led them to success before he was snatched away by United. They have struggled all season long and will part ways with John Van' t Schip at the end of the season.

Regardless of his future role at the club, Ten Hag will be hard at work as United look to try and breach the top four Champions League spots with just four matchdays remaining. They will take on Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday in hopes of returning to winning ways.
