The Dutchman’s future as manager looked uncertain at the end of last season after a disappointing campaign when the club finished eighth, their worst performance in the Premier League.
The extension is a vote of confidence in Ten Hag from Ratcliffe who commissioned a full analysis of United’s football department as he looked for improvements. The club spoke to potential replacements, including Thomas Tuchel, but decided to stick with Ten Hag who is looking into refreshing his backroom staff, with the former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and Dutch coach René Hake under consideration.
Ten Hag will be further bolstered by the new football leadership team at Old Trafford. The sporting director, Dan Ashworth, started work this week after arriving from Newcastle, while the technical director, Jason Wilcox, has been in place for a number of months.
