The decision comes just two-and-a-half years into his tenure, with the team currently languishing in 14th place in the Premier League—a stark contrast to the club’s aspirations.

Ten Hag, who joined the club in April 2022, had previously enjoyed success, securing two domestic trophies: the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024.

However, following an eighth-place finish last season—their worst position in the top flight since 1990—pressure mounted as the current campaign began poorly.

The club’s new owners, INEOS, had shown faith in the 54-year-old Dutchman, extending his contract until June 2026 after substantial summer investment of around £200 million in new players.

Yet, the expected improvements failed to materialize on the pitch, leading to this significant decision.

United’s struggles this season left many questioning the team’s direction, and despite the backing, results ultimately dictated Ten Hag’s fate.

The club released a statement expressing gratitude for his contributions, emphasizing that they wish him well in his future endeavors.

In the wake of this upheaval, Ruud van Nistelrooy will step in as interim head coach, supported by the current coaching staff.

Manchester United now embarks on the search for a permanent manager to steer the club back to its former glory, hoping to reignite the passion and pride associated with this historic institution.

The coming weeks will be critical as United navigates this transition, aiming to turn their fortunes around and recapture their competitive edge.
