This according to the Mirror, which reports that ten Hag was waiting for a contract offer this week after recent discussions. Ten Hague reportedly informed United’s board that money was not an issue and that he would gladly accept a lower salary and not question transfer budget decision makers. The famous coach comes from a rich background and is already financially secure thanks to his share in his family business as well as his profits as a player and coach. Despite assuring the club that he just wanted the opportunity to coach in the Premier League, the 52-year-old has not yet been offered, leaving him feeling despised. United want to talk to other candidates – with PSG gaffer Maurico Pochettino and Spaniard Luis Enrique linked – before making their final call. However, there may now be pressure to make a decision or risk losing the Ten Hague, who is a popular candidate among fans. The Red Devils are considering taking their time for the appointment, given their recent failure to appoint a coach. David Moyes, Jose Mourinho, Louis van Gaal, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Rangnick have struggled to replicate the success of former coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who has won 13 Premier League titles during his 26-year tenure. It is possible that no decision will be announced until the summer, which means that the Ten Hague will have to remain patient for the time being.
