Ten Hag was defiant- calling out both club supporters with unrealistic expectations and club leadership for not truly believing in him.

After a long, tedious process, the front office green-lighted his stay, and now that will be extended.
As you can see, in the tweet from transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, ETH will not just stay to see out his deal. He'll have some more seasons added on to it. Additionally, there will be some changes in the backroom staff. Ruud van Nistelrooy is a club legend, and it looks very likely that he'll take himself out of the running for the Burnley job, in order to take this gig at United, on Ten Hag's staff.
