Erik Ten Hag has been sacked by the management of Manchester United.
The news is broken to players at the same time as the official announcement, as Ruud van Nistelrooy takes over as interim boss
Manchester United has sacked manager Erik ten Hag, the club announced on Monday morning.
The decision to axe the Dutchman after two-and-a-half years in charge came after Sunday’s defeat at West Ham left United in 14th place in the Premier League.
Ten Hag’s new No 2 Ruud van Nistelrooy will step in on an interim basis while the club look for a permanent replacement. Former Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez, Brentford manager Thomas Frank, Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim and ex-Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic are believed to have been sounded out.
A club statement issued at 11.50 am on Monday read: ‘Erik ten Hag has left his role as Manchester United men’s first-team manager.
‘Erik was appointed in April 2022 and led the club to two domestic trophies, winning the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024.
