Manchester United Appoint Ten Hag as ManagerManchester United Appoint Ten Hag as Manager Manchester United have appointed Erik ten Hag as their new manager on a three-year contract, with the option of a fourth year. Ten Hag will take over at the end of the current season, replacing interim manager Ralf Rangnick. The 52-year-old Dutchman has been in charge of Ajax since 2017, winning three Eredivisie titles and reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019. His attacking and possession-based style of play has earned him widespread praise. Ten Hag said: “It is a great honour to be appointed manager of Manchester United and I am excited by the challenge ahead. I know the history of this great club and the passion of its fans, and I am determined to develop a team capable of delivering the success they deserve.” Manchester United CEO Richard Arnold said: “Erik has proven himself to be one of the most exciting and successful managers in Europe, and his vision for the future of Manchester United is totally aligned with ours. We are all looking forward to working with him.” Ten Hag’s arrival is seen as a major coup for Manchester United, who have been struggling for form in recent seasons. The Red Devils are currently sixth in the Premier League, six points off the top four, and have not won a trophy since 2017. Ten Hag will be tasked with rebuilding the squad and restoring Manchester United to their former glory. He will have a significant transfer budget to work with, and is expected to bring in several new players this summer. The Dutchman’s appointment has been met with mixed reactions from Manchester United fans. Some are excited by the prospect of a new era under Ten Hag, while others are concerned about his lack of experience at a big club. However, one thing is for sure: Ten Hag will be given a clean slate and the chance to prove himself at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
