Erik ten Hag Sacked as Manchester United Manager Manchester United has dismissed Erik ten Hag following a 1-0 loss to West Ham, ending his two-and-a-half-year tenure. United’s poor start to the season—with only three wins in nine league games—left them 14th in the table. Club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy is expected to step in as interim manager. Ten Hag, appointed in 2022, had recently extended his contract through 2025 but struggled to meet expectations following last season’s eighth-place finish.
