Red Devils Drop the Axe: Ten Hag Out, Van Nistelrooy Takes Charge
In a shocking move, Manchester United announced the dismissal of manager Erik ten Hag on Monday after a disastrous start to the Premier League season. Club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy has been named interim manager while United searches for a permanent replacement.
The Dutchman’s exit comes just months after leading the team to a dramatic FA Cup victory over Manchester City in May 2024. But a 14th-place league position—the worst in the club’s Premier League history—sparked panic at Old Trafford. A recent 2-1 loss to West Ham sealed Ten Hag’s fate, with just three wins in nine league games this season.
Mixed Legacy: Trophies vs. Turmoil
Ten Hag’s tenure included highs (winning the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024) and crushing lows (finishing eighth last season). The club spent over £600 million on transfers under his leadership, but inconsistent results eroded trust in his vision. His contract extension through 2026, signed after the FA Cup win, now feels like ancient history.

Van Nistelrooy, a former United striker who scored 150 goals for the club, takes charge during this crisis. Fans hope his attacking legacy and deep ties to the team can revive their struggling squad. But with United sitting closer to the relegation zone than the top four, the pressure is on .
