Manchester United has officially sacked manager Erik ten Hag following a disappointing start to the 2024 Premier League season, where the team currently sits 14th in the standings after suffering four defeats in nine matches. Ten Hag's final match resulted in a 2-1 loss to West Ham, marking one of the club's worst starts in history since 1989/90. Despite winning two domestic trophies during his tenure, including the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, the club's poor performance ultimately led to his dismissal. Ruud van Nistelrooy, a former player and assistant coach, has been appointed as interim head coach while the search for a permanent replacement begins. The decision comes just four months after Ten Hag received a contract extension through 2026, highlighting the sudden shift in the club's fortunes. Reactions from fans and analysts have been swift, reflecting the ongoing challenges at one of football's most storied clubs.
