Manchester United has officially announced the termination of Erik ten Hag as the team’s manager, following a disappointing period that saw the club struggle in the Premier League. The announcement came after Ten Hag was informed of the decision on Monday morning, marking the end of his tenure after two and a half years at the helm.
Ten Hag, who took over managerial duties in April 2022 following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s departure, faced his last match on Sunday, where United suffered a 2-1 loss to West Ham. This defeat was part of a challenging start to the 2024/25 season, leaving the team in a precarious 14th position in the league standings with only three wins from nine matches played. Just days prior, United had also endured their third consecutive draw in the Europa League.
In a brief statement on their official website, Manchester United confirmed Ten Hag’s exit, acknowledging his contributions during his time with the club. The statement highlighted his achievements, including securing two domestic trophies—the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024. The club expressed gratitude for his efforts and extended their best wishes for his future endeavors.
As the search for a permanent replacement begins, United has appointed former striker Ruud van Nistelrooy as the interim head coach. He will lead the team with support from the existing coaching staff while the club evaluates potential candidates for the managerial position.
