Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag following two and a half years in charge of the club.
His dismissal comes following the club's poor start to the 2024/25 season, leaving them in 14th position on the Premier League table after nine games played.
The Red Devils fell to a 2-1 defeat to West Ham United at the London Stadium on Sunday, October 27, which also marked Ten Hag's last game in charge of the club.
"Erik ten Hag has left his role as Manchester United men’s first-team manager," a statement from the club read.
"Erik was appointed in April 2022 and led the club to two domestic trophies, winning the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024.
"We are grateful to Erik for everything he has done during his time with us and wish him well in the future.
"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."
The Dutchman was informed of the decision by the club's board on Monday morning, fewer than 24 hours after the club's defeat by West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
