We asked for your views on Manchester United triggering Erik ten Hag's contract extension, keeping him at the club until 2026.

Here are some of your answers:

Adam: Brilliant and sensible news. Now we can build in the right way and move forward. Hope to make it three trophies in three years. Well done Erik!

Mark: It was a no brainer to keep ETH. Two trophies in two seasons and the worst injury list in the league last season was a main cause behind finishing eighth. Ten Hag was unable to implement his strategy or style of play due to the injuries and I expect a similar season to his first season in charge and hopefully another trophy.

Jon: I think he deserves it. He worked under impossible circumstances last season, even though I do think he was naive tactically at times. If he doesn't improve this season, then he'll be gone, but I like his disciplinarian attitude with the superstars.

Stephen: I think it is a good thing that Ten Hag has signed a new deal as it brings some stability. However, he still has to quickly develop a style of play that fits with the ethos of Man Utd.

Brian: I think it’s a terrible decision. He doesn’t have a clue on tactics or man management and should have been sacked 12 months ago. He not only makes himself look daft in interviews but also the club and management if they think he’s right in anything he says.

John: There is no question that Ten Hag is not the man for this job, despite two trophies. The way the team plays (or doesn't play) is awful, with no plan and no strategy. It's all off the cuff. Ten Hag has no personality and looks frightened to death, but we require a leader of men and a style of play. No more back four football please.
