Manchester United CEO says Ten Hag has club's full backing.

Manchester United Chief Executive Omar Berrada, 46, has reaffirmed the club’s strong support for manager Erik ten Hag, 54, emphasizing the long-term vision for success both domestically and in Europe. Despite a challenging start to the season, with the team currently 14th in the Premier League after a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool, Berrada remains optimistic about the future.

“Erik has our full confidence,” Berrada stated before the Liverpool match, as reported on Monday. “We believe he is the right manager for us. We have collaborated closely during this transfer window and will continue to work together to achieve the best possible results for the team.”

Manchester United’s last Premier League title came in the 2012-13 season under Sir Alex Ferguson, marking the end of an era of dominance. Since then, the club has been striving to reclaim its former glory. While securing another Premier League title remains a primary goal, Chief Executive Omar Berrada has emphasized the importance of a long-term vision for sustained success.

“We don’t want to simply win one Premier League title and consider it enough,” Berrada said. “Our aim is to build a team that can consistently compete at the highest levels—whether that’s in the Premier League, the Champions League, or the domestic cups.”

Reflecting on the recent transfer window and changes within the boardroom, Berrada expressed a sense of optimism and progress. “We’ve had a positive summer in the transfer market and there’s a renewed energy in the boardroom,” he noted. “I can definitely feel that things are moving in the right direction.”

Berrada’s excitement is palpable as he looks towards the future. “Personally, I’m very excited and optimistic about what lies ahead,” he shared. “We’re starting to assemble the right pieces and I am confident that with continued effort and strategic planning, we will achieve the success we’re aiming for.”
