The inevitable has happened. Erik ten Hag has been sacked as Manchester United manager following a difficult start to the 2024/25 season.
Despite his efforts, Ten Hag's side has struggled, losing four of their first nine Premier League games, leaving United in an unexpected slump.
The final straw came with a 2-1 defeat to West Ham, marked by a controversial penalty awarded late in the game due to a challenge by Matthijs De Ligt.
Jarrod Bowen successfully converted the penalty, sealing West Ham's win and further diminishing United's early season prospects.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the decision-makers at Ineos ultimately decided it was time to make a change. However, Ten Hag leaves behind several memorable moments from his time at Old Trafford.
Manchester United's Strong Run from January to March (2022/23).
After a difficult start to the Premier League season, United hit their stride after the 2022 World Cup.
This stretch included huge victories over rivals Manchester City and Barcelona. Marcus Rashford emerged as a star, and fans were hopeful for the club's upward trajectory.
Carabao Cup Triumph (2022/23)
In his debut season, Ten Hag led United to a Carabao Cup win, defeating Newcastle United 2-0 at Wembley. Key performances from Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka sealed the victory, ending United's six-year trophy drought and establishing Ten Hag's credibility.
FA Cup Victory Over Manchester City (2023/24)
Perhaps Ten Hag's most celebrated achievement was United's 2-1 FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.
Goals from young talents Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo brought home the trophy, briefly securing Ten Hag's position despite the challenging season.
