Manchester United confirmed the appointment of the Dutchman earlier today on their website.
The 52 years old has signed a 3-year contract with Manchester United. Ten Hags will join The Red Devils at the end of the season, he has won two Eredivisie titles and two Dutch cups (they could win a third this season).
The Red Devils have failed to win the Premier League ever since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013, the best they came closer was in 2017 with Jose Mourinho when they finished second behind Manchester City.
Manchester United is likely to miss out on a top-four finish this season after they were beaten by Liverpool at Anfield yesterday in the Premier League.
