Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag following the club's poor start to the season.

Ten Hag's final game was Sunday's 2-1 defeat by West Ham that left the club 14th in the Premier League with just three wins from their opening nine matches.

United are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League table, having drawn their three opening fixtures.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, who joined the club as Ten Hag's assistant last summer, has been named as interim manager.

The club said Van Nistelrooy would be in charge "while a permanent head coach is recruited".

Ten Hag was informed of the decision by the club's board on Monday morning, following the club's defeat by West Ham at the London Stadium.

The club triggered a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract following May's FA Cup final victory over Manchester City but just over three months later he has been dismissed after overseeing United's second worst start to a Premier League campaign.

United are now seeking their sixth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

Had same problem when matt Busby retired took until fergy together it right...looks as if he's wasted 100s of millions on worthless players. He's not good enough for us either...

I said that Sir Alex would be almost impossible to replace for them and so it's proving, even 11 years after he's retired.

Doesn't help that he's always there and the stand opposite the dugouts is named after him so his shadow is always there over every manager they have.

They can keep chopping and changing managers, fact is their squad is mostly shit.

Dalot, Onana and Hojlund are all lower prem standard.

Casemiro and Eriksen are well past it.

Fernandes has good days but has a bad attitude.

And dont get me started on Rashford. One of the most overrated players I’ve ever seen.

Spot on. The only advantage they have is they can write off massive losses on poor recruited players due to their commercial prowess

They need Russell Slade for a few seasons

Only himself to blame.

Was given a massive war chest every window, and continually bought crap.
