Erik ten Hag’s Era Comes to an End at Manchester United
Manchester United have sacked Erik ten Hag after West Ham defeat
- United sit 14th in the Premier League with just one win in their last five matches
- The club’s management deemed it essential for Ten Hag to win at least one of the recent fixtures to keep his job
- Potential successors for the managerial role include Thomas Frank and Gareth Southgate
Manchester United have fired manager Erik ten Hag after a disastrous start to the Premier League season.
The Red Devils’ 2-1 defeat to West Ham United on Sunday proved to be the final straw.
Ten Hag had been under intense scrutiny for weeks, with the club’s poor performances and lack of goals causing significant concern.
Despite initial backing from the club’s hierarchy, including CEO Omar Berrada and sporting director Dan Ashworth, the pressure on the Dutchman became too much to bear.
The decision to sack Ten Hag comes after a series of disappointing results, including a draw against Fenerbahce in the Europa League and a string of poor Premier League performances.
The club’s 14th-place position in the league, seven points above the relegation zone, is a stark reminder of their struggles.
The search for a new manager is now underway, with several high-profile names linked to the vacant position.
Thomas Tuchel, who recently turned down the job, is now the England national team coach. Other potential candidates include Brentford’s Thomas Frank and former England manager Gareth Southgate.
This marks the end of a tumultuous period for Manchester United, who are now facing a crucial decision that could shape the club’s future.
