Erik ten Hag has gone back to his birthplace to recover after losing his job as Manchester United’s manager, according to MailOnline.

When Ten Hag was told his two-and-a-half-year contract with United was coming to an end, he rushed to Manchester Airport, where a private Cessna Citation plane was waiting to take him back to the Netherlands.

Following his old team’s 5-2 victory against Leicester City last night, Ten Hag has recently been made fun of.

His parents, Hennie and Joke, paid the 54-year-old a visit at his £1 million, three-story house.

And he returned to the comforts of his second house in a small Dutch town where his extended family resides within hours of being dismissed, having traveled about 500 miles.

The 54-year-old was also comforted last night by his parents, Hennie and Joke, who came to see their son at his £1 million, three-story, contemporary house close to Oldenzaal’s center.

It is thought that the Dutchman rushed directly to the plane that was waiting to take him to Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport after being fired on Monday, without ever returning to his UK headquarters.

A car was waiting to take him to his five-bedroom house in Oldenzaal.

Ten Hag didn’t wait for his three kids or his wife, Bianca.

According to what is known, they stayed behind in his Cheshire house, where Bianca will take care of administrative tasks before traveling to the Netherlands with him.

He hurried back to Oldenzaal, a 31,000-person town close to the Dutch-German border.

It’s where he grew up and feels most at ease, according to his friends and neighbors.

In order to escape the stresses of managing one of the largest clubs in the Premier League, Ten Hag and his wife Bianca would frequently return to the peaceful town where practically everyone rides their bikes.

Additionally, he may move about in relative secrecy despite his notoriety from managing Ajax, the top team in the Netherlands, and United, which receives £7.8 million annually.

Ten Hag hurried to Manchester Airport as soon as he was informed that his two and a half-year contract with United was ending, and a private plane returned him to Oldenzaal, Netherlands, via Schipol airport.

“He likes it here because he is not bothered by anyone,” a local stated about Ten Hag’s homeland.

It’s not surprising that Hennie and Joke paid Erik a visit, according to one neighbor.

His parents are extremely supportive and proud of their close-knit family.

Everyone in the Oldenzaal area is actually rather respectful of the ten Hags and proud of him.

“He can unwind and feel like he has his privacy here, which is definitely different from what he experienced in Manchester, which is why he returned so quickly.”

After United’s season began disastrously, finishing 14th in the Premier League, Ten Hag was fired.

The fragile tenure at Old Trafford came to an end when United’s board of directors lost 2-1 to West Ham over the weekend.

An exit payout of almost £13.5 million after signing a new two-year contract in the summer is one comfort.

United’s managers called the decision to fire Ten Hag, who was only granted a contract extension in July and who had to pay more than £600 million in transfer fees, “difficult and finely balanced.”

According to club insiders, Ten Hag was “taken aback” by the timing of his dismissal after surviving a position review prior to the season and receiving a contract extension through 2026.

Since then, United supporters have made fun of him online after their 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the Carabao Cup.

Since many Oldenzaal residents had positive memories of Ten Hag from his playing days with the local team Twente in the neighboring city of Enschede, they expressed their gratitude to him.

He was promoted to coach in their young section after playing 160 games for the team.

After a series of temporary positions, Ten Hag ultimately took over Holland’s premier team, Ajax, in 2022, replacing Ralf Rangnick. United was interested in replicating the glory days under Alex Ferguson.

Ten Hag would often escape the stress of Amsterdam life by retreating to the small village of Ajax with his wife, Bianca. The modern town center was only a short stroll from the house.
