Manchester United has officially signed a £70 million superstar. The agreement was finalized last night, and the player will wear the iconic jersey number. The medical exam is set for today, with the official unveiling expected soon. Congratulations to Manchester United fans on this exciting new addition!
In another major update, Erik ten Hag, who has guided Manchester United to two trophies in the past two years, is close to agreeing to a new two-year contract with a significant pay raise. Jeremy Cross of The Star reports that the Dutch manager, once on the brink of dismissal, is now poised to sign a deal worth around £30 million.
According to Cross, Ten Hag’s representatives are finalizing the contract with Manchester United, with an official announcement expected this week. The Daily Record notes that Ten Hag is fortunate to receive such a lucrative offer.
Initially, Ten Hag joined Manchester United with a yearly salary of £9 million. Now, the former Ajax coach is expected to earn approximately £15 million per year. Last season, Manchester United had their worst defensive record in a Premier League season and finished last in their Champions League group, which included weaker teams like Copenhagen and Galatasaray.
Despite these challenges, Ten Hag’s position was secured by the FA Cup final victory over champions Manchester City, which changed the club’s outlook. The ownership group, INEOS, has been unable to find a better managerial option and believes Ten Hag is the right person to lead Manchester United forward.
The debate continues: does Erik ten Hag truly deserve a more than 50 percent salary increase? This decision will undoubtedly fuel discussions among fans and analysts alike.
