Manchester United have appointed Ajax coach Erik ten Hag as their next manager.

The 52-year-old Dutchman has signed a three-year contract with the Red Devils, with the option of a further year.

Ten Hag has been in charge of Ajax since 2017, and has won the Eredivisie title twice, the KNVB Cup once, and the Johan Cruyff Shield twice.

He has also led Ajax to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019 and the quarter-finals in 2021.

Ten Hag is known for his attacking style of play, and his Ajax teams have been praised for their attractive football.

He is also a big fan of developing young players, and has given debuts to several talented youngsters at Ajax.

Manchester United will be hoping that Ten Hag can bring success back to Old Trafford after a disappointing few years.

The Red Devils have not won a trophy since 2017, and they finished sixth in the Premier League last season.

Ten Hag will be tasked with improving the team's form, and challenging for major trophies.
