Erik ten Hag sends a message to Manchester United fans following sacking

Erik ten Hag has sent a message to Manchester United fans after he was sacked on Monday.

The Dutchman was relieved of his duties after a poor start to the season, with the 2-1 Premier League loss to West Ham United on Sunday proving to be the final straw.

He has since been replaced by Ruben Amorim, who will arrive later this month and oversee his first game in charge of Man United against Ipswich Town after the international break.

Ten Hag won two trophies with United, and he has now sent a message to the supporters via SEG on social media platform X.

The former Ajax boss was in charge of 128 games between May 2022 and October 2024, winning 70 times, drawing 23 and losing 35 games.

He is the fifth permanent manager to be shown the exit door since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013, with David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer all suffering the same fate.

Ten Hag will now look to prove himself elsewhere after failing to turn things around at Man United despite being given the chance last summer.

Amorim has a big job on his hands, and the 39-year-old has to show that he has what it takes to take the Red Devils to the pinnacle of English and European football once again.

He has won it all domestically in Portugal across his spells with Braga and Sporting CP, and he now has to prove himself in the toughest league on the planet.

The Portuguese has an incredible 71.09 percent win ratio as a manager, having won 182 out of the 256 games he has managed, losing 37 and drawing the other 37.

However, the Premier League is a different ball game, and all eyes will be on Amorim after he accepted one of the toughest jobs in football.
