Erik ten Hag has been sacked as Manchester United's manager following a disappointing start to the season, with the team falling to 14th in the Premier League and struggling in the Europa League. Ruud van Nistelrooy has been appointed as interim head coach, while Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Frank are considered as potential permanent replacements. The decision comes after a series of poor performances, including a controversial 2-1 defeat to West Ham, and ongoing injury problems affecting key players like Antony and Bruno Fernandes. Manchester United's new leadership, including sporting director Dan Ashworth, now faces the challenge of finding a suitable long-term replacement and addressing the squad's performance issues.
