Man Utd appoint Erik ten Hag as new coach

Manchester United have appointed Ajax boss, Erik ten Hag, as their new manager to replace interim Ralf Rangnick at the end of the season.

Ten Hag signed a three-year deal with the option of a further 12 months.

In a statement on Manchester United website, the 52-year-old manager said: “It is a great honour to be appointed manager of Manchester United and I am hugely excited by the challenge ahead.

“I know the history of this great club and the passion of the fans, and I am absolutely determined to develop a team capable of delivering the success they deserve.

“It will be difficult to leave Ajax after these incredible years, and I can assure our fans of my complete commitment and focus on bringing this season to a successful conclusion before I move to Manchester United.”

Erik ten Hag will be United’s fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

The club have won only three trophies in the following nine years – the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League – while they are currently in danger of missing out on qualification for the UEFA Champions League next season.

Ten Hag is set to oversee a much-needed rebuild at United with Rangnick, who is due to take up a consultancy role at Old Trafford this summer.
