Ten Hag has found himself under pressure this season given United's dismal Champions League run and torrid Premier League form, but has survived in his position so far.
The Dutchman held lengthy and optimistic talks with new investor Sir Jim Ratcliffe earlier in the week, but his own future at the club is less than secure.
Ten Hag was in a solid position at the start of the year after delivering silverware and a third-place Premier League finish last season, however, the arrival of Ratcliffe and his INEOS team could spell trouble for the manager's future.
