Manchester United has appointed former player Ruud van Nistelrooy as interim head coach following the recent exit of Erik ten Hag. This shift in leadership comes after a rough season start, with the team currently sitting in 14th place in the Premier League.
Ten Hag’s time with the club, which began in April 2022, ended abruptly. While he led United to notable achievements, including victories in the 2023 Carabao Cup and the 2024 FA Cup, recent performances fell short of expectations. Over the summer, with new co-owners INEOS backing squad upgrades, Ten Hag’s contract was extended to 2026, but disappointing results early in the season led to his dismissal.
Van Nistelrooy, a celebrated former striker for United, now takes on the role of interim head coach, tasked with stabilizing the team and lifting its position in the league standings.
