The Red Devils confirmed Ten Hag would remain as Manchester United head coach on Tuesday night, abandoning their ongoing search for a new manager.
The Premier League giants, who are now discussing a new contract with the Dutchman, headed into the summer with a list of potential candidates to replace Ten Hag after an underwhelming season at Old Trafford.
The Manchester club closed out the season with a club record low finish of eighth in the Premier League but still managed to qualify for the Europa League by winning the FA Cup at Wembley.
United's shock win in the final against Manchester City is believed to have strengthened Ten Hag's case, sources disclosed to Mail Sport on Tuesday.
Jordan took to social media to ridicule Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS after their decision to stick by Ten Hag.
'That must strike terror into the hearts of all the major Premier League teams,' he said sarcastically on X.
'It’s clearly evident #mufc are going in the right direction,' Jordan added, signing his remark off with a lying face emoji.
'I’m pretty sure it didn’t need a supposed review to stick with what you started with.'
On Wednesday morning, former Sky Sports host Richard Keys labelled the decision a 'shambles', claiming that Ten Hag had only been given his vote of confidence because of a lack of managerial options in the market at the moment.
Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Frank and Thomas Tuchel, who distanced himself from the role following talks with Ratcliffe in Monaco last week, were all initially viewed as potential successors by INEOS should Ten Hag be given the boot.
