We asked for your views on Erik ten Hag’s departure from Old Trafford.
Here are some of your comments:
Pip: Sadly Ten Hag was unable to improve on last year’s very average performances and it has cost him his job. He was supported in the transfer window and nothing has changed. He was out of his depth and unfortunately for him, sacking him was the right decision.
Brandon: Erik Ten Hag was ultimately a disgrace. They spent valuable money on flop players and they came away with shocking results. They have been getting embarrassed every match and they have no excuses. I expected more.
Chris: A bit sad for Ten Hag. He’s been no better and no worse than most of his predecessors. I loved Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and I think United need to learn to play with a smile on their faces. It’s all a bit grim at the moment.
Paul: Ten Hag had run out of time. A lack of playing style or identity cannot run into three seasons and performances are just not good enough.
Olusola: It’s been difficult to discern any pattern of play in this United team. Poor result after poor result and all you get from the manager are the same untenable excuses. His choice of players is questionable as he appears only comfortable with players that have played previously for him. His sacking is long overdue.
Tony: It was definitely his team after £600m spent. The lack of goals and no recognisable style of play have seen him off. Being 14th in the league after nine games is not acceptable and although the board delayed their decision in the summer, at least they have acted swiftly now to get us back on track.
Matthew: Ten Hag was fortunate to have lasted as long as he did. The post Sir Alex era, on the whole, has been a consistent trend of poor management choices in both managers and players that are not remotely what you relate with Manchester United. Kieran McKenna is a young manager who knows the club and plays good football.
