Manchester United has announced that manager Erik Ten Hag will remain at the helm until 2026, ensuring stability and continuity for the football club's future endeavors.
Ten Hag’s current deal was set to expire in 2025, but instead of signing a new long-term contract, United triggered a one-year extension and allowed him to retain the transfer veto he had when he joined in 2022. This move underscores the club's confidence in his leadership and vision.
\"I am very pleased to have reached an agreement with the club to continue working together,\" Ten Hag said. \"Looking back at the past two years, we can reflect with pride on two trophies and many examples of progression from where we were when I joined.\"
Under Ten Hag's guidance, Manchester United won 68 and lost 31 of their 114 games over the past two seasons. They secured third place in the 2022-23 Premier League campaign and clinched the EFL Cup title. Last season, despite finishing eighth, the team triumphed in the FA Cup by defeating league champions Manchester City, showcasing their resilience and competitive spirit.
With Ten Hag's contract now extended through 2026, fans and stakeholders alike are optimistic about the continued growth and success of Manchester United in the coming years.
