Without a Premier League title since 2013, new Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag will need time and support to rebuild the team.
Newly appointed Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will have a massive rebuilding job to restore the once-powerful club to former glories after nine years without a league title.
“During the past four years at Ajax, Erik has proved himself to be one of the most exciting and successful coaches in Europe, renowned for his team’s attractive, attacking football and commitment to youth,” said United’s football director John Murtough. The Dutchman, who previously worked with the reserve team of Bayern Munich, had long been linked with a move to United.
Sources close to the club said that the recruitment process had been led by Murtough and technical director Darren Fletcher with club chief executive Richard Arnold involved in the latter stages. Ajax had wanted to avoid any distractions in the final weeks of the season where they remain in a battle for the title with PSV Eindhoven.
In four-and-a-half seasons at Ajax, Ten Hag won five trophies to place himself among the club’s top five coaches but it is the numbers he achieved that prove most impressive.
