After an internal audit of Ten Hag by the INEOS Group at the end of last season, the United hierarchy decided to continue to trust Ten Hag after more than two weeks. Not only did he not dismiss him, but he chose to renew his contract. The decision was made by INEOS after taking into account Manchester United's performances last season, and despite finishing 8th in the league, they beat Manchester City to win the FA Cup and win convincingly. Winning the title for 2 consecutive seasons, this is already the second best manager in the Premier League for the same period after Pep Guardiola.

Earlier, a news from the United Kingdom newspaper The Guardian gave us a further sense of the trust that Manchester United's hierarchy has in Ten Hag, as there is no order to finish in the top four for the new season, and INEOS Group is prioritising the team's long-term goals. Ten Hag is aiming to lead his team as high up the table as possible, and Ratcliffe's Manchester United football operations team will want to do the same. However, everyone is aware that there are no guarantees in the rebuilding of the club next season, and that success can only be achieved if a firm foundation is established.

To put it simply, what INEOS wants to see next season is "progress", or hope.

Manchester United finished 8th in the league last season, but the influence of objective factors cannot be ignored. There have been 60 injuries, which have seriously affected the team's performance. Among them, the backline is the "hardest hit area", the left-back has been short of personnel all season, and Ten Hag can only use different players to make cameos; The centre-back suffered a round of injuries and even made a cameo appearance with Casemiro at the end of the season. However, things have improved since Lima's comeback, and the team's performance has rebounded. Therefore, the performance of Manchester United with a full personnel is guaranteed.

In addition, from another point of view, entering the top 4 is only a basic requirement for an old Premier League giant like Manchester United, who is willing to invest, and the long-term goal is to compete for the title. So INEOS Group is right not to set targets, as long as the team's performance continues to improve, people can feel that they are on the right path to revival, and the title race is a matter of course.

In addition, during the two-week internal audit, INEOS Group will also realise that Ten Hag's coaching quality is not on par with the top managers, but he is the best candidate for Manchester United in the current situation.

Manchester United has never lacked investment in the transfer market, and the post-Ferguson era has come in batches of strong reinforcements, but why has it never been able to translate the ranking strength into the pitch? In the end, there is a problem with management.

Today, INEOS Group has set up a professional management team to fundamentally correct the previous amateur operation at the recruitment level, but more importantly, the management of the dressing room. If you can't form a cohesive group of players, no matter how big the players are, it's in vain. In the past, every Manchester United manager would go through the tensions in the dressing room before he left the class, until he collapsed. The contradictions of the Ten Hag era still existed, but they did not collapse, but let the outside world see clearly who the real "bastards" are. And all Manchester United's new hierarchy needs to think about is cleaning up these "bastards" and leaving the dressing room a clean land.

With a professional football management team under management, positive changes are being made in all aspects of the team. Refurbishing the stadium, training ground, streamlining departments, being more efficient than ever in the transfer market, trusting the manager and believing that the future of Manchester United will get better and better.
