Manchester United have decided to extend Erik ten Hag's contract as manager until June 2026, triggering an existing option for an additional year beyond his original agreement. The 54-year-old Dutchman, who took over in 2022, has already won two trophies with the club and is committed to reaching the levels expected of Manchester United by challenging for English and European titles. Despite a disappointing eighth-place finish in the Premier League and an early Champions League exit last season, the club's management sees Ten Hag as the best partner to drive up standards and achieve consistent success. Talks are ongoing to add former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and coach Rene Hake to Ten Hag's staff, signaling a potential coaching reshuffle. With a clear vision for the future and unity in their goals, Manchester United and Erik ten Hag are prepared to work together towards continued success.
