Manchester United has extended Erik ten Hag's contract by one year, securing his presence at the club until 2026. The Dutchman, who joined from Ajax in 2022, was initially contracted until 2025.
Ten Hag, 54, expressed his satisfaction with the extension, stating, "I am very pleased to have reached agreement with the club to continue working together."
Under Ten Hag's stewardship, Manchester United achieved two major milestones in two years, ending a six-year trophy drought with a Carabao Cup victory over Newcastle and claiming an FA Cup triumph against Manchester City.
Despite a challenging second season, which saw United finish eighth in the Premier League and exit the Champions League group stages, a crucial FA Cup victory cemented Ten Hag's position.
Following co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's investment and subsequent board restructuring, Manchester United reviewed the team's performance, engaging with potential replacements for Ten Hag before reaffirming their commitment to him.
Sporting director Dan Ashworth emphasized the club's ambitions, stating, "With our strengthened football leadership team now in place, we are looking forward to working hand-in-hand with Erik to achieve our shared goals."
Manchester United is currently in discussions with Ten Hag to restructure his coaching staff, with former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and Go Ahead Eagles manager Rene Hake expected to join as part of the revamped setup.
Former Chelsea technical director Christopher Vivell has also joined Manchester United as director of global talent on a short-term basis to assist during the current transfer window.
