Erik ten Hag sacked by Manchester United after two-and-a-half years as manager with side 14th in Premier League
Ruud van Nistelrooy will take charge as interim head coach while a permanent successor is recruited; Man Utd's new co-owners INEOS had backed Erik ten Hag in the summer with a contract extension until June 2026 but he leaves with the club lying 14th in the Premier League
What do you think?
The decision to sack Ten Hag by Manchester United's hierarchy has been described as "difficult and finely balanced".
However, it is understood that the decision by the club's board, made in the wake of the controversial 2-1 defeat at West Ham on Sunday, was unanimous.
