For the second time this season, Manchester United have made a managerial announcement ahead of facing Arsenal. Back in November - four days before the reverse fixture - Ralf Rangnick was officially appointed as interim manager until the end of the campaign as he took over from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Now with two old rivals locking horns at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the Red Devils confirmed on Thursday morning that Erik ten Hag has been appointed as their new first-team manager after reportedly triggering a clause in the Dutchman's contract with Ajax worth £1.6million
"Manchester United is delighted to announce the appointment of Erik ten Hag as Men's First Team Manager, subject to work visa requirements, from the end of this season until June 2025, with the option to extend for a further year," a statement via the club's official website reads.
