Here is what the Dutchman [had to say](https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/erik-ten-hag-appointed-as-man-utd-manager-official-statement?utm_campaign=ManUtd&utm_medium=post&utm_source=twitter) about his new endeavour in England: “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.” 

Ten Hag’s appointment comes shortly after [Ajax’s loss in the KNVB Cup final against PSV Eindhoven](https://technosports.co.in/2022/04/18/ajax-1-2-psv-eindhoven-2022-knvb-cup/). They are still leading the Eredivisie table, and will be hopeful of securing the league title to give their head coach a worthy send-off.
