According to Fabrizio Romano via Give Me Sport Manchester United and Erik ten Hag are in the final stages of agreeing a new contract that extends the manager stay by more than a year.

The official confirmation is really close with INEOS interested in getting Ten Hag to sign the deal before the new season begins.

Jim Ratcliffe and colleagues are keen to show they have full confidence in Ten Hag despite doubts about his future after winning the FA Cup.

Romano added that there are still some details that need to be confirmed. For example there is a lot of speculation about whether Ten Hag will have control over the transfer.

There is reason for optimism even though negotiations between Erik and the club are going well.
