Erik ten Hag Excited for More Trophies at Manchester United
Manchester, UK – Erik ten Hag, the manager of Premier League giants Manchester United, has expressed his delight at extending his contract with the club until the summer of 2026. The Dutchman, who led United to a League Cup triumph and an FA Cup victory last season, is now focused on building on that success and targeting even bigger titles.
“Very, otherwise I wouldn’t extend my contract,” Ten Hag told MUTV when asked if he is happy to be back at Old Trafford. The 53-year-old’s contract extension is seen as a significant show of faith from the club’s new ownership, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who recently acquired a minority stake.
Alongside Ten Hag’s contract extension, Manchester United have also secured key appointments of Jason Wilcox as technical director and Dan Ashworth as sporting director, strengthening the club’s senior leadership team.
With the new season just around the corner, Ten Hag is confident that the team is in a strong position to challenge for the Premier League title and make a deeper run in European competitions like the UEFA Champions League. “We won two trophies after a dry [run] of six years,” the manager said. “We are in a good direction, now with the new ownership coming in, they can help us. We are in a very strong position to go into attack.”
The Red Devils will be eager to build on their success from the previous campaign, which saw them end their six-year trophy drought. Ten Hag is determined to lead the club to even greater heights, with the English title and potential European glory firmly in his sights.
As Manchester United prepare for their Premier League opener against Fulham on August 16, the excitement and optimism surrounding the club are palpable. Fans will be eagerly waiting to see if Ten Hag can guide the team to more silverware in the 2023-24 season and beyond.
