Manchester United has extended Erik ten Hag's contract until June 2026, despite a challenging season that saw the team finish eighth in the Premier League. The decision comes after Ten Hag led the club to an FA Cup victory against Manchester City, adding to his previous Carabao Cup win. The extension, which adds just one year to his existing contract without a pay rise, indicates that the club's leadership, including new sporting director Dan Ashworth, still sees potential in Ten Hag. Ten Hag expressed his satisfaction with the agreement and acknowledged the hard work ahead to meet the club's high expectations for English and European titles. The club had considered other managerial candidates, but ultimately decided to retain Ten Hag.
