Manchester United gaffer Erik ten Hag has put pen to paper on a two-year contract extension, which will run out in the summer of 2026.
The 54 year-old Dutchman who arrived at Old Trafford from Eredivisie giants AFC Ajax Amsterdam in 2022, had originally signed a deal that was due to expire in 2025 but the club’s hierarchy have now extended Ten Hag’s tenure by an additional twelve months.
Ten Hag revealed: “I am very pleased to have reached agreement with the club to continue working together. Looking back at the past two years, we can reflect with pride on two trophies and many examples of progression from where we were when I joined. We must also be clear that there is still lots of hard work ahead.”
United finished third in the Premier League during Ten Hag’s first season at the club and ended the club’s six-year wait for silverware with victory against Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup Final, while claiming the FA Cup at the expense of Manchester City last May.
The club, led by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe following his investment last December, conducted a review of the team’s performance across the season following the victory at Wembley.
Newly-appointed sporting director Dan Ashworth said: “This group of players and staff have already shown they are capable of competing and winning at the top level; now we need to do it more consistently.”
“With our strengthened football leadership team now in place, we are looking forward to working hand-in-hand with Erik to achieve our shared ambitions for this football club.”
