Ten Hag excited by Man Utd's future

Erik ten Hag has expressed excitement about Manchester United's future after the club confirmed they have triggered the additional year option in his contract, extending it to 2026.

Ten Hag is one of only four Man United managers to win major trophies in consecutive seasons; he guided the team to the FA Cup final victory over Manchester City on May 25th.

In his first interview since the contract extension was announced, Ten Hag expressed his enthusiasm for the future, stating that he wouldn't have agreed to the deal if he wasn't "very" excited. He believes the structural changes within the club, including the arrival of new ownership, a sporting director, and a new CEO, will place the team in a stronger position for future success.

He emphasized the positive impact these changes will have on scouting, recruitment, medical, and performance departments.  

Ten Hag also highlighted his commitment to winning trophies, stating, "I came here to win trophies. We won two trophies, after a dry [spell] of six years, so we are in a good direction." He expressed confidence in the team's ability to build on their recent successes.
