Manchester United has sacked manager Erik ten Hag with immediate effect following a series of poor results that left the club 14th in the Premier League standings after nine games. The decision, reportedly unanimous among senior figures at the club, came after the team's 2-1 defeat by West Ham United. Ten Hag, appointed in April 2022, led the club to two domestic trophies, winning the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup in 2023, breaking a six-year trophy drought. Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was an assistant under Ten Hag, has been appointed as interim manager. The club is now searching for a permanent replacement.
