Erik ten Hag has extended his contract with Manchester United, the club confirmed on Thursday.
The Dutchman’s deal will run until 2026 and he will keep the title of “first team manager” after United triggered a one-year option.
Sources have told ESPN that discussions about revamping Ten Hag’s backroom staff are continuing, with Ruud van Nistelrooy and Rene Hake set to arrive at Old Trafford.
“I am very pleased to have reached an agreement with the club to continue working together,” Ten Hag said.
“Looking back at the past two years, we can reflect with pride on two trophies and many examples of progression from where we were when I joined.
“However, we must also be clear that there is still lots of hard work ahead to reach the levels expected of Manchester United, which means challenging for English and European titles.
“In my discussions with the club, we have found complete unity in our vision for reaching those goals, and we are all strongly committed to making that journey together.”
Ten Hag will remain on the existing terms of his contract, meaning he will keep the transfer veto which formed part of the agreement when he arrived from Ajax in 2022.
