Ten Hag has retained his job, despite a poor season that left the club in eighth in the Premier League.
Per The Telegraph, many players felt that he had coached his last game for the club.
A source is said to have told the outlet: “The overriding reaction to the news among the players seems to have been surprise.
“They didn’t really have a clue about what was going on.”
United will now focus on bringing in new signings and selling fringe players.
