Manchester United defender Luke Shaw is pleased to see that boss Erik ten Hag has extended his stay at Old Trafford under the new leadership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his sporting hierarchy
Luke Shaw says there is a “big buzz” around Manchester United after Erik ten Hag signed his contract extension.
And the England defender clearly believes the new ownership model will bring the glory days back to Old Trafford. United and Ten Hag last week triggered a one-year option that ties the Dutchman to the club until the summer of 2026.
And Shaw, finally fit again and hoping for a starting spot in the Euro 2024 semi-final against Holland on Wednesday, was delighted with the news. He said: “Everyone is very pleased with him staying. I spoke to him a couple of times recently – it wasn’t really a surprise, he was always going to sign.
“Everyone is very pleased. Look at the last two years, he’s had a trophy in each season. He’s had a bit of success and there is definitely more to come.”
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has also completed the recruitment of sporting director Dan Ashworth to complete the new executive set-up. And that structure has also met with Shaw’s approval.
He went on: “I definitely think (United) is in the right place now. I think with the boss signing a new contract and the new owners coming in to take their place, things are looking really positive.
