Manchester United has officially sacked Dutch coach Erik ten Hag following a disappointing run of results, winning only one of their last eight matches across all competitions. The decision comes after a 2-1 loss to West Ham, leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with just 11 points after nine matches.
Ten Hag, who took over the managerial role in April 2022, had previously led the team to victory in the English Football League Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024. Despite these successes, the team's current form prompted the club to make a change.
In a statement, Manchester United expressed gratitude towards Ten Hag for his contributions and wished him well in his future endeavors. The club has appointed former player Ruud van Nistelrooy as the interim manager while they search for a permanent replacement.
Van Nistelrooy, who was Ten Hag's assistant and played for United from 2001 to 2006, faces immediate challenges with upcoming fixtures, including a League Cup match against Leicester City and a Premier League clash with Chelsea. His goal will be to revitalize the team's performance and morale during this critical period.
