Manager Erik ten Hag was seen chartering a private jet to return to his homeland the Netherlands after being sacked by Manchester United.

Just hours after receiving the dismissal notice, the Dutchman quickly packed up his belongings at his Cheshire home. He then immediately got in a car and headed to Manchester airport to return to Amsterdam.

Before leaving, Ten Hag took the opportunity to say goodbye and hug airport staff on the tarmac. “Ten Hag made an emotional farewell after being brutally sacked by Manchester United,” the Mirror described.

The image shows that Ten Hag was quite friendly with everyone around him. Previously, this strategist was seen trying to avoid the cameras while being escorted out of his Cheshire home.

The 1-2 defeat to West Ham in round 9 of the Premier League on October 27 was the last time fans saw the Dutch coach take charge at MU. The board of directors decided to fire Ten Hag when the “Red Devils” played too poorly.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy will take on the role of interim coach of MU, to replace Erik ten Hag as predicted. This is the best option for the “Red Devils” at the moment, and was almost planned by the team’s board of directors since the beginning of the summer. Van Nistelrooy’s immediate task is to revive the team’s spirit.

At the same time, the Old Trafford team is still actively searching for a strategist to replace Ten Hag. Former Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez, Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben Amorim, former Dortmund coach Edin Terzic, and Brentford’s Thomas Frank are on the list of potential candidates to replace Ten Hag.
