In a stunning turn of events, Manchester United has officially parted ways with Erik ten Hag, sacking the Dutch manager with immediate effect. The decision comes amid growing pressure following a series of poor results, with sources confirming the news earlier today.
Ten Hag, who joined the club in the summer of 2022, was brought in with hopes of restoring United to its former glory. However, despite moments of promise, the team has struggled for consistency, leaving the board with little choice but to make a managerial change.
In a swift move, the club has appointed former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy as interim manager. Van Nistelrooy, who had a decorated career at Old Trafford from 2001 to 2006, will now return in a managerial capacity to steady the ship.
The club released a brief statement:
*”We thank Erik for his dedication and efforts during his time at the club. It has been a challenging period, and we wish him all the best for the future. Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge on an interim basis as we evaluate our next steps.”*
Van Nistelrooy previously managed PSV Eindhoven and is known for his passion and connection to Manchester United. His appointment has been well-received by fans hoping to see a return to the attacking football the club is known for.
More details on this managerial shake-up are expected in the coming days as United prepares for their next fixture.
