Manchester United have announced a new manager after announcing the sacking of Erik Ten Hag.

The Red Devils have officially announced the sacking of their manager, Erik Ten Hag, following a series of poor results.

The Dutch manager has struggled to get the team challenging for the title this season, having just three wins in his last nine games.

The team's poor performance this season has left them in 14th position with just 11 points from their last nine matches.

According to the official statement by the club, “Erik ten Hag has left his role as Manchester United men’s first-team manager.

“Erik was appointed in April 2022 and led the club to two domestic trophies, winning the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024.

“We are grateful to Erik for everything he has done during his time with us and wish him well for the future.

“Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of the team as interim head coach, supported by the current coaching team, whilst a permanent head coach is recruited.”

The Manchester United legend joined the Ten Hag’s coaching crew this summer after leaving his position at PSV.

He will now remain with the team alongside other coaching staffs until a new manager is appointed by the club.
