**Manchester, England** – Erik ten Hag has unexpectedly resigned from his position as Manchester United’s men’s first-team manager, effective immediately.
The club announced that former striker Ruud van Nistelrooy will take over as interim head coach, supported by the existing coaching staff. A search for a permanent replacement is already underway.
Ten Hag’s departure comes after a disappointing start to the season, including a recent 2-1 loss to West Ham at the London Stadium. In a statement released by the club, Ten Hag expressed his belief that “luck will turn” and stated that he is confident in the team’s ability to achieve success in the future. However, it appears he has decided to move on.
Van Nistelrooy, a legend at Old Trafford during his playing days, will be tasked with leading the team through a challenging period as they aim to salvage their season. The club has vowed to provide him with the full support he needs to succeed.
