Erik ten Hag will leave Ajax to become Manchester United manager next season, the English giants confirmed on Thursday. | Sport24news
The 52-year-old, who has signed a three-year contract, faces a huge task to revive the Red Devils fortunes after a fifth consecutive trophyless season.
"It is a great honour to be appointed manager of Manchester United and I am hugely excited by the challenge ahead," said Ten Hag. United sit sixth in the Premier League, 23 points behind leaders Manchester City, and are unlikely to qualify for next season's Champions League.Ralf Rangnick was appointed interim boss for the remainder of the season, but the German has been unable to inspire any improvement in United's performance.
A summer of long-needed change will put Ten Hag's ability to work constructively with the club's new CEO Richard Arnold, technical director Darren Fletcher and football director John Murtough immediately to the test.
