Manchester United has sacked manager Erik ten Hag following a disappointing start to the season, which sees the team sitting 14th in the Premier League. Ruud van Nistelrooy will serve as interim head coach while the club seeks a permanent replacement. Just months after receiving a contract extension until June 2026, Ten Hag leaves despite spending over £600 million on transfers during his tenure.
The decision to terminate Ten Hag’s contract, which could cost the club approximately £13.5 million, was made unanimously by the board after a controversial 2-1 defeat at West Ham. Despite Ten Hag’s belief that the team was improving, the club’s hierarchy felt the on-field results were unacceptable, with only four wins from 14 matches this season. Reports indicate that the club has approached Sporting to discuss appointing head coach Ruben Amorim as Ten Hag’s successor.
