Erik ten Hag has been officially sacked as Manchester United manager following a disappointing start to the season. His dismissal came after a 2-1 defeat to West Ham, marking United's fourth loss in nine league games and leaving them in 14th place in the Premier League. The club, under new sporting leadership from INEOS, decided to make the change in hopes of turning around their fortunes after a series of poor performances, with only one win in their last eight matches across all competitions.
During his tenure, Ten Hag managed to secure two domestic trophies for United: the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024. Despite these achievements, his time at United was marred by clashes with high-profile players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho and an overall inconsistent performance record.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, a former United striker and recent addition to Ten Hag's coaching staff, has been appointed as interim manager while the club searches for a permanent replacement. United's management expressed gratitude for Ten Hag's contributions but acknowledged the need for a new direction to improve the club’s standings and future performance
