“Manchester United“ will hire its fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson's era - since 2013. Next season, the current „Ajax“ strategist Erik ten Hag will take over the team, the club officially announced. “It is a great honor to be appointed as the manager of „Manchester United“. I am looking forward to starting work. “I know the club's history and the passion of its fans. I am determined to build a team that can achieve many impressive things“, the Dutchman said in an official statement. E. ten Hag worked at „Ajax“ for a total of 4.5 years. With the Amsterdam team, the 52-year-old specialist won the „Eredivisie“ title twice, the Dutch Cup twice, and reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals once. Currently, „Ajax“ is fighting for another „Eredivisie“ title. The club's players in the Dutch capital are favorites to win the championship again. With 5 matches left, E. ten Hag's players have a 4-point advantage over PSV. Meanwhile, „Manchester United“ is fighting for a place in the Champions League. However, such a task seems uncertain, as the next matches are against the „Arsenal“ and „Chelsea“ teams, and the closest teams theoretically have a 6-point advantage. Next season, the new coach may have to settle for the Europa League. E. ten Hag will start working with „Manchester United“ from next pre-season. The team is waiting for a number of transfers, as interim coach Ralf Rangnick said.
