Erik ten Hag is said to have felt let down by three Manchester United players after his sacking, a new report claims.
Ten Hag’s exit from United was confirmed on Monday morning following on from a last-gasp 2-1 defeat to West Ham United a day prior. The result left United in 14th place, 12 points off the top of the table after nine games.
Ruud van Nistelrooy will step in as interim boss for the Carabao Cup game against Leicester City but reports suggest the club are pressing forward with a pursuit of Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim and want to hire him imminently.
United are said to have an agreement in principle for the Portuguese coach, who has held talks with Liverpool and West Ham in the past.
Ten Hag was in the United hotseat for just over two seasons, winning two trophies and boasting a 54.6% win ratio. But after a promising first season United have been on an almighty decline and it ultimately led to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS parting company with the Dutchman.
Ten Hag constantly stressed that there was a process at United and improvements were being made, and the Daily Star say he felt let down by three of his players.
Marcus Rashford, Casemiro and Antony are named as three senior players who Ten Hag was left disappointed with him.
In Ten Hag’s first season, Rashford scored 30 goals in all competitions and was one of the most in-form forwards in world football. His level fell off massively last term and he has scored just once so far in the current campaign.
