Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag set to sign new contract at Old Trafford

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is set to sign a new contract at Old Trafford. Following the Dutch tactician’s successful campaign, lifting the FA Cup at the end of the 2023/2024 season, he is poised to be rewarded for his achievements. Prior to the final at Wembley, there was considerable speculation that Ten Hag might be leaving, but he is now expected to stay on as manager and have his contract extended.

Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the deal to extend ten Hag’s contract is in its final stages. There will also be changes among his staff, with Ruud van Nistelrooy emerging as a strong candidate to join him in the dugout.

Erik ten Hag’s record at Manchester United

Ten Hag’s managerial record with Manchester United includes 114 matches, 68 wins, 15 draws, and 31 losses, resulting in an average of 1.92 points per match. Despite this solid record, the 2023/2024 campaign was disappointing for United. The team struggled in both the Champions League and the Premier League, getting knocked out of Europe in the early stages and finishing eighth in England’s top flight.

Nevertheless, the FA Cup triumph, especially the victory over rivals Manchester City in the final, significantly bolstered ten Hag’s chances of retaining his position. The win not only provided a morale boost for the team but also demonstrated ten Hag’s capability to lead Manchester United to silverware. As he prepares to sign a new contract, the focus will be on building a more competitive squad for the upcoming season and improving performances in both domestic and European competitions.
