Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag has demanded a big pay off during talks over a new contract at Old Trafford, according to reports.
It had seemed inevitable that Ten Hag would be sacked at the end of the season after leading to a disappointing eighth-placed finish as new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe watched on.
A report even claimed that victory over arch-rivals Man City in the FA Cup final would not save Ten Hag from the sack with the Red Devils also crashing out of Europe before Christmas by finishing bottom of their Champions League group.

INEOS are looking to double down on their backing for Ten Hag as they look to agree a contract extension with the former Ajax and Utrecht manager.
And transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has brought an update on current negotiations with the Italian confirming an agreement is getting really close .

Everything is going very well in the negotiations between Ten Hag and Man United, and they hope to make it happen as soon as possible.

Conversations between Man United and Ten Hag’s agents are going well, there are still details to clarify, but there is hope to make it happen before the new season, which is really important for Man United’s strategy.
