Erik ten Hag has signed a contract extension with Manchester United, keeping him at Old Trafford until 2026. Despite a challenging 2023/24 season, his FA Cup win and positive review by new part-owner Jim Ratcliffe secured his position. Ten Hag aims to elevate the team to challenge for major titles.
Erik ten Hag has extended his contract with Manchester United, securing his position as the men’s first-team manager until June 2026. Despite speculation over his future following a disappointing 2023/24 Premier League season, Ten Hag's FA Cup victory against Manchester City and a club review led by new part-owner Jim Ratcliffe confirmed his retention.
The former Ajax manager acknowledged the need for further improvement to compete with top Premier League rivals. Sporting director Dan Ashworth highlighted Ten Hag’s consistency and success, pointing to his two trophies in two seasons. Ten Hag, who ended a six-year trophy drought for United by winning the League Cup in 2023, remains focused on elevating the team's performance to challenge for both English and European titles.
Despite last season's setbacks, including 14 losses and a negative goal difference, the club believes Ten Hag is the right person to drive future success.
