Fabrizio Romano reveals that Manchester United is on the verge of their first summer signing! According to Romano, the deal is in its “final stages,” with all eyes on the Red Devils as they prepare to unveil their latest star. This could be a game-changer for United, adding much-needed talent to their squad. Stay tuned for more updates as we await the official announcement!

Manchester United’s manager, Erik Ten Hag, is reportedly nearing a new contract that will secure his position until the summer of 2027.

Ten Hag, who took over from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the summer of 2022, has already guided United to significant victories, winning two major trophies in his first two seasons. The first triumph came with the Carabao Cup, where United triumphed over Newcastle United in the final. The following season, Ten Hag’s team clinched the FA Cup with a decisive win against Manchester City.

Despite these successes, there were rumors that Ten Hag might be replaced at the end of the season. Names like Graham Potter, Gareth Southgate, and Roberto De Zerbi were linked to the potential vacancy, along with Thomas Tuchel, who reportedly held discussions with United’s key figure, Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

However, Ten Hag hinted at ongoing talks for a contract extension after speculation about his future subsided. In an interview with Dutch TV channel NOS, he mentioned that Manchester United’s management approached him during his holiday in Ibiza to discuss continuing their partnership. He noted that although they had considered other candidates, they decided to stick with him, acknowledging Ineos’s reflective approach as new entrants in football.

Negotiations for a new contract have been active, aiming to offer Ten Hag a two-year extension worth around £27 million. Additionally, there are indications that Ten Hag’s coaching team might see changes, with former United striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy potentially joining after declining a position with Bayern Munich.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano recently announced that discussions about Ten Hag’s contract are in their final stages, with the Dutchman’s agents ready to conclude the agreement. Romano shared on X (formerly Twitter) that Ten Hag is set to sign the new contract soon, and changes in the coaching staff are expected, including Van Nistelrooy’s possible return.

Ten Hag will begin his third season at United with the Community Shield match against Manchester City at Wembley on August 10, followed by the Premier League opener against Fulham at Old Trafford six days later.
