LONDON - Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag following the club's lacklustre start to the season, the fallen English Premier League giants announced on Oct 28.
United dropped to a lowly 14th in the table after suffering their fourth defeat in nine league games at West Ham United on Oct 27 and have won only one of their last eight games in all competitions.
"Erik ten Hag has left his role as Manchester United men's first-team manager," said a club statement.
"Erik was appointed in April 2022 and led the club to two domestic trophies, winning the League Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024.
"We are grateful to Erik for everything he has done during his time with us and wish him well for the future."
Former striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who returned to the club as ten Hag's assistant in July, would now serve as interim manager "while a permanent head coach is recruited", said United.
Van Nistelrooy has only one season of experience as the coach of a senior side, having led PSV Eindhoven to the Dutch Cup in 2022-23.
