According to German media outlet Bild, Manchester United had expressed a strong interest in Stuttgart manager Junior Hernandez during the summer transfer period and made contact with him in early July before renewing the contract of current manager Erik Ten Hag.
It is reported that United's management asked Hernandez Jr. about the possibility of a change in position, and Hernandez Jr. did not give a positive response, although he was surprised and honored by United's interest. The two sides did not engage in any substantive negotiations, and Hernandez Jr. eventually politely declined United's offer.
In the past few months, Ten Hag has been subjected to external criticism and pressure. However, United finally chose to extend his contract until 2026, and continue to let Ten Hag to lead the "Red Devils" in the game. This decision shows that United's management still has confidence in Ten Hagar's future and expects him to lead the team to better results in the upcoming matches.
