After six seasons in which Manchester United failed to win a single trophy, the club signed Dutch coach Erik ten Hag.
The former Ajax player helped us return to the UEFA Champions League, won the League Cup in his first season, and lost in the FA Cup final to break our trophy drought.

However, despite our miserable CL and league campaigns in the second half, Ten Hag won a bigger trophy than he did in the first.
In the FA Cup final, his team defeated Manchester City, the defending champions, to win the trophy.
The shocking thing is that the new Man Utd management has chosen to reward him with a one-year contract extension rather than a single penny increase in salary.
The Mirror claims that Man Utd and Ten Hag have reached an agreement for a one-year contract that will pay Ten Hag £173,000 a week, or £9 million a season, once more.
Such a move suggests two things. Firstly, it suggests that Ratcliffe was compelled to change his mind by the FA Cup victory, even if he did not actually want the manager to stay.
Secondly, Ten Hag’s one-year renewal implies he is still somewhat of a probationary employee, and INEOS does not think his accomplishments warranted a pay increase.
The point is, given that he does not have the full support of management, how is a coach expected to perform to the best of his abilities?
Say what you think: Did Erik ten Hag deserve more compensation for the last two years’ worth of work?
