So whatever happens this season, the players are still committed to his vision of play, to such an extent for some that they sound like Pep in post-match stuff, you've got players like Foden who hasn't hit his prime yet, a striker to come in, the biggest challenges in football in the league you're in, and he's protected and loved by the club. He doesn't look to me like a man ready for the semi-retirement of international football, so what else is going to do?
I'd also say United getting Ten Hag is a good sign for Pep staying for a few more years.
