In a post on their official website, they wrote: “Erik ten Hag has left his role as Manchester United men’s first-team manager. Erik was appointed in April 2022 and led the club to two domestic trophies, winning the Carabao Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024.”
The statement added: “We are grateful to Erik for everything he has done during his time with us and wish him well for the future.”
