Erik ten Hag out, Ruud van Nistelrooy in: Manchester United's managerial shake-up.

Manchester United has parted ways with manager Erik ten Hag, effective immediately. The Dutchman's departure comes after a dismal run of form, culminating in Sunday's 2-1 loss to West Ham.

Despite significant investments in the transfer market, Ten Hag's side struggled to find consistency, prompting the club's hierarchy to act. A statement from Manchester United confirmed the decision:

“Erik ten Hag has left his role as Manchester United men's first-team manager. We are grateful to Erik for everything he has done during his time with us and wish him well for the future.”

Ruud van Nistelrooy, a legendary Manchester United striker, will assume interim managerial duties. The club statement continued:

“Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge of the team as interim head coach, supported by the current coaching team, whilst a permanent head coach is recruited.”
