Erik ten Hag er Uniteds nye manager.

Det ble klart klokka 12.10 skandinavisk tid torsdag, selv om den nederlandske 52-åringen først overtar United-skuta etter sesongen.

Det betyr også at hans aller første kamp kan bli mot Liverpool – i Bangkok – i juli.

Manager-bekreftelsen fikk selvsagt Internett til å ta av.

Her samler vi en del av de umiddelbare meningene.

– Kan bli et betydningsfullt øyeblikk i historien vår

United-forfatter.

An immediate boost for @ManUtd under Erik ten Hag.
By appointing him now, he has full control over the outgoing players.
Taking the contracts off the table and getting an instant power over this dressing room could be a significant moment in our history.

– Han står for en perfekt miks

Fotballanalytiker Statman Dave.

Absolutely delighted with Ten Hag coming in as manager, he is the perfect blend of positional play, attacking football & pressing. I can’t wait to look forward to watching United again. It’s been too long. It will take time, but have faith. #MUFC

– Et modig valg

Daily Mirrors United-journalist.

Ten Hag a bold choice by United. Easy option would have been Pochettino, given his Premier League experience and the fact he had an influential backer in Sir Alex Ferguson. But ten Hag may just be the progressive coach United need to reverse their decline #MUFC @MirrorFootball

– Husk at ledelsen er den samme

United-supporter Christoffer Johansen.

Eierne (Glazers) er de samme. CEO (Arnold) har aldri hatt stillingen før, let alone i en toppklubb. Sp.dir. (Murtough) har aldri hatt stillingen før, let alone i en toppklubb. Tek. dir. (Fletcher) har aldri hatt stillingen før, let alone i en toppklubb. Ten Hag får en tøff jobb.

– Skapte det mest positive laget i Champions League-gruppespillet

In Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United are getting a manager whose Ajax team:
• Defend from the front
• Has a balanced age profile, with a lean towards pre and early peak
• Generate ~20% of their xG from set plays
• Had the best xG Difference in the 21/22 UCL group stage#MUFC pic.twitter.com/OBTYLtkIaA

– Ønsket angrepsfotball, trofeer og ungdomssatsing

The Times-journalist.

Manchester United powerbrokers guided by the desire to appoint a manager with a record of “winning trophies, attacking football and giving youth a chance”. Erik ten Hag offered that. #mufc
