Former Manchester United Manager Erik Ten Hag Thanks Fans After Sacking

Former Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has written a letter thanking the club’s fans for their support on Friday, days after his sacking from the Premier League club.

Ten Hag was let go on Monday following his team’s disappointing start to the season, which placed the club in 14th position in the standings.

On the day Ruben Amorim was confirmed as his replacement, the Dutchman sent a message to the supporters through his agency.

“Let me start by thanking you. Thank you for always being there for the club,” Ten Hag said in the letter posted on social media by SEG Football.

“Whether it was at a game far away or a tough match at Old Trafford, your support has been unshakable. I always enjoyed meeting Manchester United fans throughout the world.”

In his first season at United, Ten Hag clinched the League Cup and guided the team to an FA Cup final victory over Manchester City after last season, which contributed to extending his tenure at the club.

“We won two trophies, achievements that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Of course, my dream was to bring more trophies to the cabinet. Unfortunately, that dream has come to an end,” Ten Hag said.

“I wish all Manchester United fans nothing but success, trophies and glory. Your support and the warmth I received from everyone at the club helped me feel at home.”

Amorim is set to join United on November 11th, while Ten Hag’s assistant, Ruud van Nistelrooy, will continue to lead the team as interim manager until that date.
