Kieran McKenna Accepts New Contractual Terms From Man United For the first time in 22 years, Kieran McKenna led Ipswich into the Premier League with back-to-back EFL promotions. The 38-year-old was rumored to be interested in Manchester United, Chelsea, and Brighton, but he is expected to sign a new, long-term contract with the Tractor Boys.

The 38-year-old coach has led Ipswich to consecutive EFL promotions and their first Premier League season at Portman Road in 22 years, but there have been doubts over whether he will stay with the team for the upcoming year.

And now that McKenna appears ready to prolong his stay at Portman Road, the rumors surrounding the Ipswich manager’s future are about to come to an end. This would be a huge boost for the recently promoted team.

Understandably, the most common response from people who might not have known about McKenna’s tenure at Old Trafford with Michael Carrick under Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Ralf Rangnick was, “Kieran who?”

Initially speaking softly, but later becoming systematic, transparent, and truthful in his interviews, McKenna’s followers quickly embraced his change from his more abrasive and occasionally domineering predecessors.
