Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has extended his contract until 2024, including a one-year extension option.
In December 2018, former United striker Solskjaer took over as caretaker manager at Old Trafford, succeeding Jose Mourinho.
Solskjaer was given a three-year contract in 2019 after leading United to 14 wins in 19 games. His contract was supposed to expire at the end of the 2021/22 season.
In his first full season in command, Solskjaer guided the team to third place in the Premier League.
Last season, United finished second in the table and advanced to the Europa League final, where they were defeated on penalties by Villarreal of La Liga.
Solskjaer, who played for Manchester United for 11 years, predicted that the club would improve under his leadership.
"Everyone knows how passionate I am about this club, and I am overjoyed to have signed this new contract," he stated.
"We have constructed a squad with a nice blend of youth and experienced players who are eager for success, and it is an exciting time for Manchester United."
"I'm surrounded by a terrific coaching team, and we're all excited to take the next step in our path."
Manchester United wants to win the greatest and best trophies, and we're all working towards that goal.
We've progressed both on and off the field, and we'll continue to do so in the coming seasons.
"I can't wait to play in front of a sold-out Old Trafford crowd and start this campaign."
Ed Woodward, United's executive vice-chairman, added: "Ole and his team have put in a lot of effort to lay the groundwork for long-term success on the pitch.
"The results have become increasingly obvious over the last two seasons, and we are all excited to watch this great team evolve in the next years.
"What's particularly pleasing is how this improvement has been made with a mix of young, homegrown talent and top-tier signings, all while playing attacking football in the Manchester United style.
We are more sure than ever that we are on the right track under Ole's leadership."
