ERIK TEN HAG has cast doubt over his Manchester United future just a month before pre-season is due to begin.
The Dutchman looked to be out of a job after United ended up eighth, their worst finish in Premier League history.
But Ten Hag gave himself a fighting chance by winning the FA Cup to make it two trophies in as many seasons.
Still, United looked to replace the ex-Ajax boss and interviewed as many as SIX candidates.
But eventually, Ten Hag was told while on a holiday in Ibiza that he would keep his job.
And in a sensational U-turn, he could even be offered a contract extension but it is something not yet agreed.
Ten Hag told Dutch TV station NOS: “We had a good chat and several topics have been discussed.
"And we drew the conclusion that we continue with each other. But the conclusion is also that we’ll sit down to extend the contract.
"We have to come to an agreement. No, that’s done as easy as one-two-three, we need to discuss that.”
Ten Hag revealed the United board told him they held talks with the likes of former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.
He said: “They did tell me that. And they were…
"But well, I don’t think that’s a secret because everyone has been able to follow that, that they were speaking to several candidates.”
Ten Hag insisted United's decision to speak to managerial candidates while he was still in charge is not something that would be acceptable in Holland.
He said: “In the Netherlands that’s not done. You’re not even allowed to have talks with another club when a trainer is a sitting trainer.
"But well, the laws and rules are different there [in England]. They did so, and eventually they came to the conclusion that they have the best trainer.”
United are due on pre-season tour to Norway and America with their first match against Rosenborg on July 15.
And Ten Hag admitted he has already had one summer break ruined when his bosses gatecrashed his Spain getaway to talk business.
He said: “They spoiled that a bit this week because they suddenly stood in front of my door.
"I think like in every organisation, which I think is wise, you evaluate. And based on that you draw conclusions.
"And Manchester United did the same. The management, the new management, they’re in football for the first time, they took plenty of time to evaluate the lot."

lol sounding like he is good..,, rubbish just lack of proper manager and it could be cheaper to learn with him to get someone better
yes he is talking like he is a good manager but can you count how many managers will be able to achieve winning two trophies in two year with this sad man it's team? especially the man utd management that is very irresponsible.
