Ten Hag left Man Utd – Manchester United have sacked Erik ten Hag. The decision, effective immediately, will see the Dutchman depart from Old Trafford, with his compatriot and former assistant, Ruud van Nistelrooy, taking over as interim manager. Van Nistelrooy, a former United striker, was part of Ten Hag’s coaching team and will manage alongside the current staff until a permanent head coach is appointed.

“We thank Erik for everything he accomplished during his time here and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
“Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of the team as an interim solution and will work with the current coaching staff until we find a new head coach.
