It’s confirmed, Erik ten Hag has a new contract which will see him at Old Trafford until 2026.
The decision comes on the back of a two-week-long post season review which saw the United boss stick by the Dutch manager.
Now, speaking as the first time as United’s new sporting director, Dan Ashworth raised his thoughts on ten Hag getting an extension to his contract.
Discussing the reasons for the Dutchman remaining in post, Ashworth said: “With two trophies in the past two seasons, Erik has reinforced his record as one of the most consistently successful coaches in European football.”
He continued: “While the club’s review of last season highlighted areas for improvement, it also reached a clear conclusion that Erik was the best partner for us to work with in driving up standards and outcomes.
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.”
It’s clear that all members of the club hold the Dutchman in high regards and see him as the right man to lead the team through their new years rebuilding the squad under the INEOS ownership.
