Erik ten Hag's first words as Man Utd manager as Ralf Rangnick successor named

Erik ten Hag has spoken of his "great honour" after being confirmed as Manchester United's new manager.

The Ajax boss has signed a three-year contract at Old Trafford until June 2025 with the option of an extra year. Ten Hag, who will take charge of the Red Devils at the end of this campaign, said upon his announcement: "It is a great honour to be appointed manager of Manchester United and I am hugely excited by the challenge ahead.

"I know the history of this great club and the passion of the fans, and I am absolutely determined to develop a team capable of delivering the success they deserve. It will be difficult to leave Ajax after these incredible years, and I can assure our fans of my complete commitment and focus on bringing this season to a successful conclusion before I move to Manchester United."
