The Dutchman will take charge of the team at the end of the current season. Ten Hag, 52, has been highly successful at Ajax, winning the Eredivisie title three times and the KNVB Cup twice. He also guided the Amsterdam club to the semi-finals of the Champions League in the 2018-19 season. United has been searching for a permanent manager since sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in November 2021. Ralf Rangnick has been in interim charge since then. Ten Hag is highly regarded for his attacking style of play and his ability to develop young players. He is also known for his attention to detail and his strong leadership skills. United’s football director, John Murtough, said: “We are delighted to have secured one of the most exciting and successful coaches in Europe. Erik ten Hag is a proven winner with an impressive track record of developing attacking football and promoting young players. We believe that he is the ideal manager to lead this club into the next era.” Ten Hag said: “I am incredibly excited to be joining Manchester United. This is a great club with a rich history and a passionate fanbase. I am committed to building a winning team that plays attractive football and wins trophies.” Ten Hag’s appointment is a major coup for United, and he will be expected to turn the club’s fortunes around after a disappointing season.
