NEW DELHI: Erik ten Hag expressed good wishes for Manchester United fans after his dismissal as the team's manager. Ten Hag, who started the season poorly, wished supporters "nothing but success, trophies and glory" in a statement released by his representatives SEG on Friday.
Ruben Amorim, the head coach of Sporting Lisbon, has been appointed as Ten Hag's permanent replacement and will start on November 11. Ten Hag's tenure included a League Cup victory and a third-place finish in the Premier League in 2023, followed by an FA Cup win against Manchester City.
However, United finished eighth last season, leading to Ten Hag's departure. Ten Hag thanked the fans for their consistent support. "Thank you for always being there for the club," he said. "Whether it was at a game far away or a tough match at Old Trafford, your support has been unshakeable."
He acknowledged the "electrifying" atmosphere at Old Trafford and the support during away games, expressing gratitude for the overall experience during his time at the club. Ten Hag also appreciated the efforts of the staff. "Your support and the warmth I received from everyone at the club helped me feel at home," he added.
Following a 2-1 defeat at West Ham, which placed Manchester United 14th in the Premier League, Ten Hag was dismissed. In an interim capacity, Ruud van Nistelrooy led the team to a 5-2 League Cup victory against Leicester and is set to manage Sunday's league match against Chelsea.
