Erik Ten Hag replaces Ralf Rangnick as Man United manager – Ajax receive compensation

Arrives in the summer  

Manchester United will start the 2022/23 season with Erik ten Hag as their new manager, the Red Devils officially announced on Thursday. The 52-year-old Dutchman arrives from Ajax and – subject to work visa requirements – signs a contract until June 2025 with the option of a further year. Ten Hag thus replaces Ralf Rangnick, who had taken over Man United on an interim basis and will remain with the Premier League club as an advisor.

“During the past four years at Ajax, Erik has proved himself to be one of the most exciting and successful coaches in Europe, renowned for his team’s attractive, attacking football and commitment to youth,” United’s football director, John Murtough, said. “In our conversations with Erik leading up to this appointment, we were deeply impressed with his long-term vision for returning Manchester United to the level we want to be competing at, and his drive and determination to achieve that.”

The Red Devils reportedly pay a fee of €2 million for the services of ten Hag. According to The Athletic, the Dutchman’s exit clause has not been activated, but the two clubs have reached a separate agreement. In addition, ten Hag is expected to bring his current assistant Mitchell van der Gaag with him.

Ten Hag said: “It is a great honour to be appointed manager of Manchester United and I am hugely excited by the challenge ahead.
