Manchester United have decided that Erik ten Hag will remain as manager, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The Dutchman's future is in doubt after a poor campaign in the Premier League.
But the season ended on a high after United won the FA Cup against rivals Manchester City and following an end-of-season review by new co-owners INEOS and led by Sir Dave Brailsford, the decision was made to retain to Ten Hag.
A source told ESPN that the “clear conclusion” of the review was that Ten Hag should remain as coach.
According to a source, Ten Hag and United are ready to discuss an extension to his contract, which was due to expire in 2025, after “constructive discussions” over the review's findings.
Ten Hag, 54, enjoyed a successful first season in charge at Old Trafford, finishing third in the Premier League and winning the Carabao Cup.
But his second season was only saved by lifting the FA Cup after a miserable campaign in the league and in Europe.
United finished eighth in the table and recorded their worst result in the Premier League. They also finished last in their Champions League group and left Europe before Christmas.
This led United to look at potential replacements for Ten Hag, including Thomas Tuchel, Mauricio Pochettino, Roberto De Zerbi, Thomas Frank, Kieran McKenna and Graham Potter. There has also been interest in England manager Gareth Southgate.
Ten Hag has repeatedly insisted that injuries were to blame for poor results and was defiant in the face of intense questions about his future after the FA Cup final at Wembley, saying: “Yes [United’s owners] “They don't want me, so I go somewhere else to win trophies because that's what I do.”
Ten Hag has been on holiday in Ibiza since the 2-1 victory over Manchester City at Wembley to win his second trophy in as many seasons.
Having finally received confirmation that he will keep his job, he is expected to return to Carrington for the start of pre-season training in July. United begin their summer schedule with a match against Rosenborg in Norway on July 15.
