MANCHESTER UNITED will have a new manager in the dugout next season, when Dutchman Erik ten Hag takes the reigns.
Ten Hag left his post as Ajax boss to take over at Old Trafford, in a move which sends current interim boss Ralf Rangnick upstairs in a consultancy role.

Rangnick will also become the new Austria manager as he juggles both jobs.
Ten Hag, who has signed up until June 2025, said when he was announced in April: “It is a great honour to be appointed manager of Manchester United and I am hugely excited by the challenge ahead.
“I know the history of this great club and the passion of the fans, and I am absolutely determined to develop a team capable of delivering the success they deserve.
“It will be difficult to leave Ajax after these incredible years, and I can assure our fans of my complete commitment and focus on bringing this season to a successful conclusion before I move to Manchester United.”
When is Erik ten Hag starting as Man Utd manager?
Erik ten Hag has already started working as Manchester United manager, albeit remotely at first.
Eredivisie champs Ajax’s season ended on May 15 and Ten Hag has immediately turned his attentions to his new role at United.
The 52-year-old is expected to attend United’s final game of the season at Crystal Palace this weekend.

The Dutchman flew in to London on a private jet alongside assistant Mitchell van der Gaag.
The duo had previously been working for the Red Devils remotely, so as not to distract from Ralf Rangnick’s preparations for United’s final game of the season against Crystal Palace.
Both men are expected to meet with Red Devils colleagues before the game.
Rangnick, however, will continue preparing United for Sunday’s final match.
Ten Hag’s attentions then turn to United pre-season preparations, and new signings.
