Erik ten Hag stated, ‘I am delighted to have reached an agreement with the club to continue our collaboration. Looking back over the past two years, we can take pride in winning two trophies and making significant progress from where we started.

‘However, it’s important to acknowledge that there is still a lot of work ahead to achieve the standards expected of Manchester United, which includes competing for English and European titles.

‘In my discussions with the club, we have found complete alignment in our vision for achieving these objectives, and we are all fully committed to embarking on this journey together.’

Dan Ashworth, sporting director of Manchester United, commented, “Erik has further solidified his reputation as one of the most consistently successful coaches in European football with two trophies over the past two seasons.

“While our review of last season identified areas for improvement, it also concluded unequivocally that Erik is the ideal partner to elevate standards and results at the club.

“This squad and staff have already demonstrated their ability to compete and win at the highest level; now, our focus is on achieving this consistently.

“With our enhanced football leadership team now in place, we eagerly anticipate collaborating closely with Erik to realize our collective ambitions for this football club.”
