Manchester United have announced the departure of manager Erik ten Hag on Oct 28, as the club currently sits in 14th place in the English Premier League standings after nine games.

“Erik ten Hag has left his role as Manchester United men’s first-team manager,” the club said in a statement.

“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.”

His last match was a 2-1 defeat by West Ham United at the London Stadium on Oct 27.

A return of eight goals in their first nine games is United’s worst in the Premier League era and no side in the division has under-performed their expected goals figures more this season. , AFP
