CONFIRMED: Erik ten Hag has been sacked by Manchester United with immediate effect as exclusively revealed by Fabrizio Romano.
Manchester United have parted ways with manager Erik ten Hag after a challenging season start, marked by a series of disappointing performances and internal challenges. Ruud van Nistelrooy, a former United star and current assistant coach, will step in as interim manager, tasked with revitalising the team’s form until a long-term successor is appointed.
This season, United have faced setbacks in both the Premier League and European competitions. They managed only three wins from their first eight matches across all tournaments and suffered heavy defeats, including 3-0 losses to Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. And over the weekend they lost controversially to West Ham United. This poor run has kept United near mid-table, raising questions about tactical issues and squad morale.
Manchester United statement.
Part Owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS management team made the decision to appoint van Nistelrooy for the interim period, expressing confidence in his rapport with the players and experience at PSV Eindhoven, where he claimed two titles last season.
More details subsequently.
