Mon Oct 28 12:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Manchester United Sack Manager Erik ten Hag After Poor Start to Season
**Manchester, England** – Erik ten Hag has been sacked as manager of Manchester United after just two seasons in charge, following a disappointing start to the current campaign. The decision was made by the club’s board on Monday morning, with the team languishing in 14th place in the Premier League after only three wins from nine matches.
Ten Hag, who arrived at Old Trafford in the summer of 2022 after a successful spell at Ajax, led the club to third place in the Premier League in his first season. He also secured a historic Carabao Cup victory for the club, their first piece of silverware in six years. Despite this success, United’s poor form this season, coupled with a disappointing Champions League campaign, ultimately led to his dismissal.
“The club’s hierarchy wanted to have continuity at a time of significant change, but have not seen the momentum and progress they wanted,” said a club source. “There are no excuses for the current situation.”
Ruud van Nistelrooy, who joined the club as ten Hag’s assistant last summer, has been appointed as interim manager. He will oversee the team while the club searches for a permanent replacement. This is the sixth managerial change at Old Trafford since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
The club’s decision to sack ten Hag has drawn mixed reactions, with some fans expressing disappointment while others believe a change was necessary. Who will be the next manager to take the helm at Manchester United remains to be seen, but the club will be hoping for a quick and successful appointment to revitalize their fortunes.
