Manchester United has made it official—Erik ten Hag will be the legendary club’s next manager.
Two weeks ago, reports confirmed that the club was finalizing a deal to appoint the Ajax manager, and on Thursday, United secured its top target on a three-year contract with an option for a fourth.
“It is a great honor to be appointed manager of Manchester United and I am hugely excited by the challenge ahead,” ten Hag said in a statement. “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.
