Erik ten Hag to Manchester United…Here we go!
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has given the ‘here we go’ to confirm that Erik ten Hag is set to be appointed as Manchester United’s next permanent manager.
The long-winded process of finding a replacement for current interim manager Ralf Rangnick looks to have reached its conclusion. Ten Hag will leave Ajax and join the Red Devils in the summer. The Dutchman spent five years in Amsterdam, becoming one of Europe’s most admired coaches.
Fans have reacted on Twitter to the news that the 52-year-old is coming to Old Trafford. Here are some of the best reactions:
Erik Ten Hag to last 4 seasons at United and peak with a League Cup win I imagine
@GoonerTaIk I rate Ten Hag but he has a mountain to climb, United are unbalanced, average overpaid players with huge egos, poor mentality, lack of cohesion, & allergy to hard work.
They’re in a much worse position than us. We’re 3-4 top class signings away from being a formidable side.
Ten Hag is coming and i should be happy because he’s a fantastic coach
But i still feel indifferent. Man Utd don traumatise me 😭😭 twitter.com/utdreport/stat…
Best of luck to Ten Hag but United just doesn’t have any kind of structure in place to succeed. It will be more of the same just under a different manager. United needs years before being a contender for any kind of trophy. I doubt Ten Hag will get that amount of time.
@MistateeT @ManUtd You see those scouts and the Board are not serious at all.
That’s why for me, getting Ten Hag is just part 1. The MAIN job is what the squad will be after this summer transfer window.
Like I posted earlier, we will then know if United is serious about Ten Hag or not.
erik ten hag has a lot of work to do damn
The Man United board don’t have to look far, just look at Liverpool since Klopp arrived and how they have developed and allowed Klopp to develop his players. He turned all those guys into world class players. Ten Hag can replicate that because that’s what he’s good at
Ten Hag will not come and Fix Manchester United’s Problems in one season. He will need time like Klopp did. After that. Give us everything 🤝
@nyannthierry I will not take Ten Hag serious if Maguire remains man utd captain
So Ten Hag decided to destroy his own stats as one of finest manager ✌️
#tenhag
Now that it’s official and Erik Ten Hag is @ManUtd new manager, I wonder who their next manager will be in 4 months?

Erik ten Hag will need time at Manchester United
The Dutchman will need time to work his magic.
Excitement is in the air around Old Trafford and with good reason as they have lured one of Europe’s top coaches to the Premier League.
However, it will be no easy ride from the get-go. The Ajax coach has a huge task on his hands in reshaping the Red Devils into one of England and Europe’s most feared sides.
This season has seen Manchester United hit rock bottom, disappointing in all competitions. United could also miss out on Champions League football next season if they fail to secure a top-four finish. The Red Devils are currently fifth in the table behind fourth-placed Tottenham by three points.
The squad is in need of an overhaul, with players reaching the end of their contracts. Erik ten Hag’s first transfer window could be key in his rebuild of United as fans get an idea of just how much say he will have when it comes to signings.
Immediate success is what some United fans will expect. However, they may have to wait as Ten Hag will need time to adjust to the Premier League.
The Duchman could be helped by a backroom staff that are familiar with the Premier League. The likes of Robin van Persie and Steve McClaren have been linked with roles on ten Hag’s coaching team.
For now, United fans will be relieved to see the club secure one of the top managers in the game today.
